About VITALISE 

From March 2022 to May 2023, the process of awarding Transnational Access to research infrastructures will be managed through three consecutive Open Calls.  

For each of these calls, external researchers will be invited to submit their research proposals for approval. 

The research topics should be related to the Joint Research activities of the project (rehabilitation, transitional care, and everyday living environments).
