Personalised medicine aims to provide tailored preventive care, diagnostics and patient monitoring based on an individual’s genetic make-up, history and available treatments. The EU-funded TeamPerMed project will support the University of Tartu (UT) and Tartu University Hospital (UTH) in creating a Centre of Excellence in personalised medicine. The centre will become an internationally recognised leader in personalised medicine, using genomic and electronic health data and developing AI tools and protocols to enable the prevention of development of chronic or hereditary disease.  With earlier diagnoses and more effective therapies, it holds great promise for improving the well-being and quality of life of individuals while reducing healthcare costs.

Blue Green Governance (BGG) is a project that brings together 14 international partners to develop and explore innovative governance arrangements to protect EU and UK oceans and coastal regions from the long-term impacts of climate change.

The SIXTH project proposes to conduct a proof-of-concept study on automating IA of digital services to allow for a continuous monitoring of the effects of such a policy change. Working within the digitally advanced countries of Belgium, Estonia and Slovenia we will conduct a proof-of-concept IA pilot using existing cross-border services designed to start, run and close a business.

SoBigData research infrastructure, with its tools and services, empowers researchers and innovators through a platform for the design and execution of large-scale data science and social mining experiments, open to users with diverse backgrounds, accessible on cloud (aligned with EOSC guidelines), and also exploiting supercomputing facilities.

ECePS ERA Chair in e-governance and digital public services 

ECePS is a 5-year project, funded by the European Union ERA Chairs programme. The purpose of the project is to raise the research excellence and profile of the University of Tartu by recruiting a senior research scientist who in turn will build up and lead a team to carry out high level research in the area of e-governance within the Center for IT Impact Studies (CITIS).
