Mental health disorders represent an area of severe unmet public health need. This has been further negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a substantial increase in the number and severity of people affected for example by anxiety and depression, which places substantial pressures on already strained mental health care systems. People with mental disorders have a reduced life expectancy compared to the general population, and this is linked to a greater risk of developing a range of chronic physical conditions.
Neurodegenerative disorders represent a high societal burden impacting patients, their families, and public healthcare systems. Patients with a neurodegenerative disorder frequently display at least one comorbidity, which together with the observed polypharmacy creates a highly complex system that needs better understanding to optimise current care pathways. Recent developments give grounds for cautious optimism that a disease-modifying therapy is on the horizon.
Current technologies for digital data storage are hitting sustainability limits in terms of energy consumption and their use of rare and toxic materials. Moreover, data integrity when using those technologies is limited in time, which complicates archival data-storage. DNA or certain classes of synthetic DNA alternatives provide an alternative that promises information densities that are several orders of magnitude higher than classical memories, and stability for millennia rather than years.
The overall goal of the Mission on Cancer[1] and the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan[2] includes a better quality of life for patients and their families living with, and after, cancer.
Project results will support the creation of a virtual European Cancer Patient Digital Centre (ECPDC), which is a federated network of patient controlled (national) health data infrastructures enabling the voluntary exchange of patients and survivors' health data in a standardised approach, for primary and secondary use.

The Ukraine crisis has an unprecedented impact on the mental health of the displaced people in the EU coming from Ukraine. The conflict and experiences of people in war zones, and during the process of displacement, is having a negative impact on the mental health of that population, and in particular on the most vulnerable groups among them.
