This work package ensures the effective coordination of the consortium and the smooth implementation of activities. It oversees administrative, financial, and quality management processes, while also safeguarding compliance with ethical standards and data protection requirements.

This package builds the knowledge base of the project by examining how gender and racial bias appear in biomedical AI. Through reviews of scientific evidence, consultations with experts, and case studies in hospitals, it will identify the ways in which AI systems affect the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, depression, and diabetes. The findings will be consolidated into a public database and a Biases Report, while also informing a regulatory model designed to promote fairer and more transparent healthcare technologies.

This package focuses on the people who interact with patients every day. It develops a guidebook and delivers tailored training in partner hospitals, helping doctors, nurses, and support staff to understand how bias can enter AI systems and how it can be addressed in clinical practice. The training combines practical workshops with pilot exercises, ensuring that staff are not only aware of the risks but also equipped to integrate new approaches into their daily routines.

This package empowers civil society organisations to play an active role in monitoring and advocating around the use of AI in healthcare. It provides tailored training sessions, a practical guidebook, and opportunities to exchange knowledge with peers across Europe. By fostering collaboration between CSOs and hospitals, it also establishes the AEQUITAS Network — a lasting structure where rights defenders and healthcare providers work together to ensure fairness and equality in AI-driven healthcare.

This package transforms project insights into guidance for the future. Drawing on the evidence and lessons collected in earlier phases, it produces recommendations aimed at regulators and policymakers at both national and EU level. Roundtables, policy dialogues, and reports will help decision-makers better understand the risks of bias in biomedical AI and the measures needed to safeguard fundamental rights in the digital transformation of healthcare.

This package ensures that the work of AEQUITAS reaches beyond the project partners. It combines a strong online presence with awareness campaigns and national events that bring the discussion into public spaces. Through publications, visual materials, and targeted outreach, it engages citizens, healthcare professionals, and policymakers alike. By sharing knowledge widely and promoting dialogue, it helps build the foundations for lasting change across Europe.
