In this context, JACARDI contributes to these goals by strengthening prevention and management strategies for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes across Europe within a single framework. By promoting health promotion, reinforcing screening, integrated care pathways and self-management, together with labour participation and improved data governance, JACARDI reinforces a cross-disease, system-based approach that complements JARED’s goals.

Addressing shared risk factors — such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, environmental exposures, and social determinants of health — allows both Joint Actions to amplify their impact beyond single disease areas and move toward a more cohesive NCD strategy at EU level.

Building synergies across European public health initiatives

The event program featured a high-level opening with remarks from the WHO and the European Respiratory Society (ERS), followed by a deep dive into JARED’s first-year achievements in indoor air quality, patient pathways, and reaching vulnerable populations. A dedicated session on Strategic Synergies brought together coordinators from various European projects to discuss how to align our efforts for maximum impact.

During this session, Benedetta Armocida, Coordinator of JACARDI presented on building synergies for impact between JACARDI, JARED, and JA PreventNCD, focusing on how coordinated intervention strategies can drive broader societal prosperity. Together, we are ensuring that European health interventions are not just individual projects, but a cohesive movement toward a healthier future.
