Work Packages & Deliverables TRANSiTION
Read our official project deliverables and explore our findings
Deliverables are the outputs that are produced during the lifetime of an EU-funded project and detail the results of the project activities. Here you can follow the current status of TRANSiTION.
Work Package 1 - Bringing the Team Together
Project Management and Coordination
Status: Ongoing
Leader: Cyprus University of Technology (CUT)
The kick-off event on 4-5 May in Limassol led to the beginning of the TRANSiTION project, and the start of Work Package 1. Led by the Cyprus University of Technology, it aligned all consortium activities with project goals and provided consistency across all work packages.
It also focused on maintaining high-quality outcomes, addressing ethical and legal considerations, and managing project risks, while providing an interface to EU services and external actors.
Work Package 1 presented four deliverables to prepare the project's implementation: a project management plan (PMP); a Log Frame Matrix (LFM); a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP); and a Data Management Plan (DMP).
Work Package 2 - Building Upon our Predecessors' Work
Current Status and Challenges in Digital Health Utilisation and Optimisation
Status: Completed
Leader: Cyprus University of Technology (CUT)
Work Package 2, also led by the Cyprus University of Technology, had the goal of understanding already existing programmes for digital skills training for cancer care professionals across Europe. To do this, the team explored existing training programmes in digital literacy skills for healthcare professionals dealing with patients throughout the cancer continuum.
The TRANSiTION team developed an evidence-based guide for health workers, focusing on cancer care and mapped these programmes. This research served as an overview of already developed projects for digital skills training for cancer care professionals.
It presented four deliverables which explored content, available tools, and a list of existing programmes:
- a systematic review of digital solutions in the field of oncology;
- a second review;
- a Digital Health Tools Guide; and
- a mapping of existing training programmes.
A poster was also made, compiling the conclusions of the systematic review. It was presented last weekend at Tendiendo Puentes, the Congress of Medical Oncology, Haematology, and Oncohaematology Pharmacy.

Work Package 3 - Finding out what Cancer Professionals Actually Need
End-users Needs Analysis and User Requirements
Status: Completed
Leader: Servizo Galego de Saude (SERGAS)
Work Package 3 started in June of this year and was led by the Servizo Galego de Saude (SERGAS). Although this Work Package is divided into four tasks, the team has found it easier to classify it into two workstreams.
The first workstream developed a Delphi survey to address the digital training needs and online resources available for three target groups: clinical professionals in cancer care; non-clinical professionals in cancer care; and cancer patients and carers.
In the second workstream, the team held workshops in Limassol, Madrid, and Vigo to highlight the complex challenges, barriers, and gaps identified in the needs assessment. It also prioritised a series of mobile apps selected in Work Package 2. The aim of this workstream was to guide development of the training modules to be created during Work Package 4.
Work Package 4 - Building the Curriculum!
Module Continuous and Professional Development
Status: Ongoing
Leader: Fundació per a la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (FUOC)
Work Package 4 just got the engines up and running. The leader, Fundació per a la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (FUOC), will develop the training courses and the "train the trainers" programme.
To do that, the team will pick up on the findings of Work Package 2 and Work Package 3 to determine the specific digital skills that need to be taught, and then collaborate with stakeholders in oncology. More news on Work Package 4 coming soon!
Work Package 5 - Giving it a Go
Training and Piloting
Status: Coming up
Leader: Institut Catala d'Oncologia (ICO)
Once Work Package 4 has been implemented, Institut Catala d'Oncologia (ICO) will lead on Work Package 5 implementing the training for clinical and non-clinical professionals. This phase of the project is expected to commence in mid-2024.
Work Package 6 - Getting the Word Out There
Evaluation, Dissemination and Exploitation
Status: Ongoing
Leader: European Cancer Organisation (ECO)
Just like Work Package 1, Work Package 6 is transversal and implemented across the entire TRANSiTION project. It consists of dissemination and communication activities, with the goal of keeping the relevant stakeholders informed, involved, and engaged.
Led by the European Cancer Organisation (ECO), Work Package 6 maximises visibility of the project and promotes results through ambitious communication activities. These activities will be frequent throughout the project.
Work Package 6 has three activities, including the Dissemination and Communication Plan, which has been submitted to the EU Projects Portal. This plan maps the list of project stakeholders and present the available to best communicate the relevant milestones and information with them. For that, a combination of website, social media and traditional approaches will be put together, offering an integrated communication approach to the TRANSiTION strategy.
