VAX-Action: Tackling Effectively
Vaccine Hesitancy in Europe

On December 1st, 2023, the VAX-ACTION project kicked off its ambitious initiative with a highly productive meeting led by Project Coordinator Tiago Correia. In addition to marking the project’s official takeoff, the primary goal of the meeting was to establish the basis for fostering collaboration, transparency, and efficient planning and execution among project partners. The meeting covered various crucial topics, setting the stage for the project’s success in the next two years.

The partners actively participated in discussions and contributed valuable insights to the project’s development. This ensured a shared understanding of project goals and expectations. A comprehensive overview of work packages provided awareness of the project’s structure, agenda, and the responsibilities of each work package leader. The discussion highlighted the critical importance of meeting task deadlines and deliverables to ensure the seamless progression of the project.

Additionally, the project’s management structure was discussed in detail. This included a clear definition of the responsibilities of the project coordinator, management committee, work package leaders, and other contributing members. The meeting also discussed the pre-funding announcement strategy, and the partners had an insightful conversation about additional issues, such as the Consortium Agreement and further administrative queries. This helped further strengthen the partners’ collaborative spirit through transparent communication, effective organisation, and meaningful cooperation among its diverse and dedicated team.

The VAX-ACTION consortium is excited about the journey ahead and is committed to studying the effectiveness of vaccine hesitancy interventions during the project’s course.

The VAX-ACTION started on 1 December 2023 and will last until 31 May 2026. It is funded by the European Union’s EU4H program under the Grant Agreement no.101133273. GHTM-IHMT is the leader of the consortium of 9 partners from 6 European countries and is coordinated by Tiago Correia, professor and GHTM Researcher.
