Diabetes defines a metabolic disorder that may have multiple etiopathogenesis characterized by changes in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism resulting from deficiency in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both and which has as its current defining element the value of blood glucose. The whole world is experiencing a pandemic Type 2 diabetes, due to the occidentalization of lifestyle and urbanization, which lead to changes in diet, a sedentary lifestyle and development of obesity. Given the upward trend, diabetes is considered to be the disease of the 21st century and requires the need to find urgent solutions to improve both the quality of life of patients and effectively manage the economic and social burden of diabetes across the world.The general objective of project is to develop a transnational strategic partnership as well as joint initiatives for cooperation and exchange of good practices at European level that would lead to transferring the knowledge in the field of dietary food products, technologies and plant extracts with functional and nutritional role in hypoglycemia diet.The specific objectives are focused on the following directions:Transferring knowledge to the target group and socio-economic environment. To support the development, transfer and implementation of innovative practice in diabetic disease and to improve the quality of life of the population segment suffering from this disease, it will develop a curricula and a course regarding the vegetable matrix with low glycemia index, food technologies and nutrition practices recommended in the hypoglycemic diet, but also plants extracts with pharmacological role in diabetes). Continuous training of specialists and training of new experts. The aim of this objective is to increase the training level of 10 experts and 60 young master student, PhD-student with high qualification in the fields of Nutrition, Food technologies and Pharmacy, by organizing 4 training courses over a period of 5 days.Awareness of the population. Through dissemination activities (workshops, newsletter) will be presented the importance of nutrition in the prevention and control of diabetic disease. The project is carried out in partnership between Banat`s University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine ‘‘King Michael I of Romania’’ from Timisoara, Romania, as Partner Leader, University of Medicine and Pharmacy ‘‘Victor Babes’’Timisoara, Romania (P1), Romanian Association of Milling and Bakery (P2), University of Calabria, Italiy (P3), University of Szeged, Hungary (P4).The direct beneficiaries of the project (experts, university teachers, but also master and PhD students) as a result of the training they will participate in, will improve their theoretical and practical knowledge on the methods of obtaining hypoglycemic products from vegetable matrices with reduced glycemic index, as well as the importance of plant extracts in the hypoglycemic diet.The target group of the project consisting of specialists from the food industry, pharmacists, and nutritionists will benefit from the technical support of the project materialized in the course entitled: MANAGEMENT OF DIABETIC DISEASE USING HYPOGLYCEMIA FOODS AND PLANT EXTRACTS and which will be the basis for the treatment of dietetic disease.The beneficiaries indirect of the results project (people with diabetic disease from Romania, Italy and Hungary) will have access to the principles of good practice in hypoglucidic diet based on scientific results, taking into account glycemic indexes of foods and the association of these foods with plant extracts having a hypoglycemic role. These principles of good practice will be presented in the course which will provide viable alternatives to the current situation regarding the management of diabetic disease.

Patients living with cancer and other non-oncological diseases require palliative care (PC) for uncontrolled symptoms, for their social, psycho-emotional and spiritual suffering to improve their quality of life. Across Europe, the provision of PC training for medical undergraduates is rather inconsistent and newly qualified physicians are entering practice with variable skill sets and may be unprepared to meet the needs of PC for an increasing number of patients and their families. In Romania, the country were the project lead is coming from, a recent quality insurance framework for higher education is requesting that all medical and nursing schools include Palliative care as a compulsory discipline in their curricula. At the beginning of the project only 2 out of the 12 universities were complying with this regulation The aim of the project was to produce and test a complex European PC undergraduate Program for medical students by - developing a model blended undergraduate PC curriculum based on the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) recommendations for undergraduate training available in RO, GE, EN and credited with 3 ECET points and - to produces adjacent training material in RO and EN for face to face and online training format. - to increase capacity of trainers to incorporate modern teaching and assessment techniques and technology in their teaching and improve their capacity as mentors. Online courses or materials were produce regarding interactive teaching methods, use of technology, mentoring of students and innovative assessment methods ( both in RO and EN) To be able to implement this program academic trainers received tuition through 3 short term trainings. CONCRETE RESULTS and PARTICIPANTS Reviewed EAPC recommendation for undergraduate training available on the EAPC website European Model Palliative Care Curriculum for undergraduate medical training with 3ECTS available in English, Romanian and German 10 updated online courses covering topics on symptom control, psychosocial issues, available in English and Romanian and 9 new developed online courses on topics like basic palliative care, symptom management, psychosocial issues, nursing available in Romanian with free registration https://learningplatform.thepalliativehub.com/login/index.php; https://edu.unitbv.ro/login/index.phpTrainers toolkit including - 31 lesson plans for all topics in the curriculum available in Romanian and English- 14 power point presentations for all theoretical courses available in Romanian and partially English - 28 organizers of seminars with case studies, exercises, role plays etc available and Romanian and partially English Online platform available in Romanian and English with free access concerning - Use of technology to support the innovate delivery of undergraduate education- Technology in teaching and in learningOpen online course on mentoring available in Romanian and English and online Mentoring manual for academic trainers, freely available in Romanian and English Open Online Resource Interactive teaching and novel assessment methods in Romanian and English Objectives based assessment for medical students for trainers use in Romanian Two articles published in ISI journals in 2020Resolution on palliative care education in undergraduate training in Romanian and agreements signed with 2 other Romanian medical schools ) to transfer the curriculum and the teaching materials. As result 7 Medical schools increased their educational offer and adapted it to actual demographic and health problems, including pandemic context Blended curriculum tested on around 1521 medical students in Romania and Ireland EDUPALL online courses and trainers toolkit used in postgraduate training on 220 doctors Three short -term trainings with 89 participants from partners and associated partners, Three multiplier events: two for English speakers and one for Romania and Republic of Moldavia totaling over 350 participants . Project’s implementation had a main impact over the teachers, mentors and students involved in creating/ teaching/ learning palliative care new curriculum. New and innovative approach of teaching methods that teachers used during implementation of curriculum lead to an increased efficiency of teaching/learning process. On medium and long term, the impact of the project will be seen at doctor’s and patient’s level, by increased level of quality of care. In the same time, on short term, the impact of the project was perceived on indirect beneficiaries (teachers, mentors, students) that had access to the intellectual outputs resulted from the team-work of the partners, by posting them on project and coordinator website access free. The results are reflected in: -new competencies of future doctors ; good practices (89 academic staff participated in short-term trainings, over 4500 participants to other indirect dissemination events)
