Dear Readers,
The INDEED project is swiftly moving forward, and some important steps have been made in the last six months towards achieving the projects’ objectives.
Firstly, through the great collaboration of the consortium, the free multimedia online platform (www.indeed-project.eu) has been finalized and the English and Slovenian versions have been already launched. The Romanian and Bulgarian version are currently under preparation.
The Slovenian INDEED platform has been piloted in multi-professional workshops which took place in September in two different sites (Ljubljana and Celje) and the feedback received was very positive. In conjunction with these workshops, an awareness event was also organized. Similar pilot actions will be organized in Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia in the months of December 2020 and January 2021. Due to the impact of the current situation with Covid-19 these will be hosted in a digital format.
Despite the challenges generated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the INDEED project has also continued to be disseminated at national and international events. Please find below a selection of events from different project countries where the INDEED project was presented, the activities organized by partners to celebrate Alzheimer’s International Day and our list of upcoming events.
In the coming months, we invite you to access the INDEED platform, either in English or in your own language if you are residing in Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia or Slovakia. We would be happy to receive your ideas and feedback!
Lea Pfaeffel, Alexander Kurz& Georgeta Popovici

Our important event took place online, via Zoom platform during September 2-3, 2020.
There were two very interesting and intense days of presentations and discussions, bringing together the project partners and important stakeholders. Important aspects focused within this event were: the activities carried out from the last meeting until now, the progress made in the project, the activities planned for the next months of the project and the expectations from all partners so that the remaining activities would go as planned.
It was emphasized the launching of the online training platform in English, the preparations made for the launching of the RO/SI/SK/BG versions (at the time of this newsletter issuing, the Slovenian platform was already launched and the Romanian version platform will be very near to be launched). The platform will be piloted through different workshops (WP6) that are going to take place starting with September 2020. The first one already took place in September in Ljubljana and Celje, Slovenia.
Future activities comprise the “content refinement”, the policy safari (a series of interviews with policy makers from the piloting countries (BG RO SK SI) and Hungary) that will start in September/October with Slovenia – followed by Hungary, with all interviews being completed at the beginning of 2021.
The second day of the meeting was dedicated to a very interesting Roundtable on project sustainability, where the goal was to review recent project activities in regard to sustainability and to develop a strategy for achieving project sustainability. The presentations were made by stakeholders from NCP RO, Excellence in ReSTI, JS, as well as by project partners that made an overview on INDEEDs sustainability efforts from teams in Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
After a long, but successful session of discussions, having in center the project sustainability, some strategic directions were established that will be analyzed in detail in the upcoming period of time.
