About the project
Cancer remains one of Europe’s greatest healthcare challenges, with research efforts often hampered by fragmented data, inconsistent standards and complex regulatory landscapes across countries and institutions in the EU. Recognising these barriers, the UNCAN-CONNECT initiative brings together a consortium of leading European hospitals, research institutes and infrastructures, registries and technology partners to develop a federated, secure platform for multimodal cancer data.
Impact of the project:
Accelerating cancer research, better understanding of cancer, empowering innovation and delivering a meaningful impact to ultimately improve patient outcomes and support the evolution of a unified European cancer research ecosystem.
Funding instrument Horizon Europe

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse’s Health team played an important role in in facilitating and conceptualising the UNCAN-CONNECT project, fostering collaboration among academia, industry, healthcare providers, technology developers and research infrastructures. Spinverse also provided support to the project consortium during the Grant Agreement Phase (GAP).
Spinverse and their Digital Health team played a central role in shaping our successful UNCAN-Connect project. Their structured approach, deep knowledge of EU Funding and hands-on guidance turned our vision into a strong and competitive proposal. Based on our experience, Spinverse is a trusted and capable partner for complex EU project preparations.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
