EuroNeoNet (ENN) is a specialised neonatal network to provide networking to European neonatologists and other stakeholders a tool to perform quality assurance and benchmarking, and a framework to facilitate the development of high-quality outcome epidemiological research, implement quality improvement initiatives and randomised clinical trials. ENN is affiliated to the European Society for Paediatric Research and the European Society for Neonatology (ESPR/ESN).

The ENN Mission is to enhance neonatal networking to help neonatologist to promote a culture for quality of care improvements and patient safety, family-cantered and developmental care and dissemination of evidence-based interventions, e-learning, and to effectively conduct academically-driven clinical trials, case-control, cohort, cluster and nested studies.

Our Vision statement s ithat all Very Low-Gestational Age (VLGA, <32 weeks) and Very-Low-Birth-Weight (VLBW, <1500 g) newborn infants born in Europe, receive the best possible health care no matter where born, by preventing any existing inequalities and that all Neonatal Units shear a standardised perinatal risk and protective factors, neonatal interventions and short- and long-term outcomes for those tinny and vulnerable infants.

Our organization values are guided by the democratic, transparency, equal opportunity, values common to the European culture, and to shear all information gathered to help any interested stakeholders.

Our strategic aim is to consolidate a standardised set of health indicators to assess the quality of health care delivered to very premature infants by European institutions, regions and countries. We aim to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality and improve their health status at 2 years, detect any inequalities that might exist.

Communication to the key interested stakeholders is mainly performed via our interactive website (www.euroneonet.org), but periodic report, newsletters, leaflets, publications, abstracts and presentations are also periodically and widely disseminated.

To contribute to the main goals of the European Union`s action in the field of public health, particularly in the area of information. The EBU is the largest association of national broadcasters in the world and has therefore the means to contribute to these goals, given that it has active Members in every country of the European Union and, more generally in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in February 1950 by western European radio and television broadcasters and in 1993 it merged with the OIRT - its counterpart in Eastern Europe. The EBU`s headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland. From its office in Brussels, the EBU represents the interests of public service broadcasters vis-à-vis the European institutions. Thanks to its structure, the EBU is able to offer European media, and especially public broadcasters, a service assisting them with establishing, maintaining and enhancing their own health information service. The aim is: - to provide Europe`s citizens with more and better information on health issues (through television, radio, Internet, written media) - to provide a platform for health issues that have a pan-European relevance - to promote the exchange of good practices in the health sector Consequently, the EBU`s proposal is to develop and implement EHIP, the European Health Information Platform. The largest and main executive part of the project, notably the production, broadcasting and other dissemination of the TV reports, the (Internet) animations as well as the radio reports, to be under the full editorial, legal and financial responsibility of individual EBU Broadcasting Members, in cooperation with previously selected production partners under the Members` supervision and control, while supplemental coordination of the overall project management to be provided by the EBU headquarters in Geneva. To ensure the establishment of the widest partnership as possible and with the aim to provide the largest pan-European exposure to EHIP, it is envisaged in the project that, shortly after the preparatory stages, additional individual EBU Members and/or their production partners, can be entrusted with the production, broadcasting and other dissemination of the TV reports while the action is under way. Once approved by the Commission and provided that they comply with the contractual requirements for participating in EHIP, these additional individual EBU Members and/or their production partners shall act as additional Associated Beneficiaries and benefit from the same rights and obligations as the current Associated Beneficiaries under the EHIP project.

To contribute to the establishment of a system for collection, analysis and dissemination of European community health indicators. To provide sufficient and relevant information for the development of community actions, priorities and objectives in the field of public health. To further stimulate cooperation and sharing of experience between Member states (MS), Accessing (AC), Candidate (CC) and EFTA-EEA countries, community bodies as well as international organisations. To reinforce the network of public institutes for management of the European health survey system. To contribute to the improvement of collection, quality and comparability of health data through health surveys. To build on existing or collectable data and indicators at the MS and CC level. To increase the cooperation on standardization and collection of comparable population based survey health data. To improve access to and transfer of data and information through the European Union (EU) public health portal.

The main objective of this project is to contribute to the development of the European Health Survey System by examining and analysing the feasibility of carrying out a European HES or repeated national HESs in EU Member States. The project aims to support the exchange of information between MS with a long experience in HES implementation and MS with little experience of such national surveys.
