"One health" digital technology for an integrated approach to healthcare. First Serge Weinberg Awards: applications open until April 27th
The Serge Weinberg Trophies are a joint initiative of Future4care, a European ecosystem dedicated to digital healthcare, Foundation S-The Sanofi Collective and CentraleSupélec 21st, to reward the most innovative, high-impact digital solutions in line with the "One Health" approach to integrated healthcare. Entries for this first edition are open from March 29th until Saturday April 27th.
Faced with a complex context of demographic transition and climate change characterized by multiple health and environmental crises, it is becoming imperative to adopt an integrated vision of health.
The "One Health" concept advocates an integrated approach to health, encompassing human, environmental and animal health.
In this respect, the use of new technologies is particularly relevant to raising awareness and meeting the challenges of environmental health, helping to preserve biodiversity and improve the health of individuals and populations.
The Serge Weinberg Trophies were created to promote and encourage high-impact projects in this field.
At the end of the selection process, three prizes will be awarded:
The Gold Trophy, worth €30,000,
The Silver Trophy, worth €20,000,
The Jury Prize, with one year's support from Future4care to the project.
Projects can apply until April 27th, by sending their application to tropheesergeweinberg@future4care.com.

The jury will announce the 8 finalists on May 17th, and award the prizes to the three winners on Thursday June 27th at Future4care in Paris.
