EVALUATION

  1. The organizers divide the judges into groups, ensuring that there is no conflict of interest and that the judges have a reasonable number of entries each, to conduct their in-depth study and evaluation. No judge is informed of the other members in his/her evaluation group. The evaluation of entries is secret and strictly personal, ensuring that Jury members are not affected by the scores or opinions of others.

 

  1. The members of the Judging Committee do NOT evaluate:
  • Entries submitted by the company/organization in which they currently work.
  • Entries submitted by companies participating in the same group of companies with the company in which they currently work.
  • Entries with which they are, or were, in any way involved.
  • The members may also exempt themselves from the evaluation of any other entry by making a statement on the online evaluation platform.

 

  1. Each entry is evaluated with one grade, using the scale of 0 to 100 (excellent). The final grade of each entry is the average of the grades of the judges whose evaluation was taken into account.

 

  1. After the evaluation is completed and the platform is closed, the only person other than the organizers who gains access to all the individual evaluations, the comments of the judges as well as the scores for each entry, is the President of the Jury, for the purpose of validating the results.

 

  1. Gold, Silver and/or Bronze awards are decided by the Judging Committee’s evaluation. It is possible to have more than three awards in one category, where entries have received equal marks, or less than three awards where the entries’ marks do not reach a certain threshold.

Ο ΣΤΟΧΟΣ

Στόχος του συνέδριου είναι να προσφέρει την ευκαιρία να συζητηθούν σε βάθος οι στρατηγικές, οι διαδικασίες, οι δεξιότητες και οι ικανότητες που απαιτούνται για την αντιμετώπιση προκλήσεων και την υπέρβαση πιθανών φραγμών που αντιμετωπίζουν η Κύπρος και η Ελλάδα σε σχέση με την Ευρώπη αλλά και το τι μπορούν να επιτύχουν οι ευρωπαϊκές χώρες ενωμένες. 

ΤΟ ΣΥΝΕΔΡΙΟ

Το συνέδριο θα διεξαχθεί παρουσία κορυφαίων Ευρωπαίων και Ελλαδιτών πολιτικών και επιστημόνων του κλάδου της Υγείας και στοχεύει στο να εξετάσει τα πλαίσια συνεργασίας των δύο χωρών, τις δυνατότητες και τις εξελίξεις του τομέα αλλά και τον ρόλο της Ελλάδας και της Κύπρου στην Ευρώπη στα θέματα που άπτονται του πλέον σημαντικού θέματος, την Υγεία όλων μας.  

Επιπλέον, δεδομένης της ανάγκης για ενισχυμένη συνεργασία μεταξύ των ευρωπαϊκών ενδιαφερόμενων φορέων, το συνέδριο θα λειτουργήσει και ως πλατφόρμα για την ανταλλαγή ιδεών, την ανταλλαγή βέλτιστων πρακτικών και την προώθηση συνεργασιών που υπερβαίνουν τα σύνορα.  

Το συνέδριο θα εστιάσει στη μεγιστοποίηση της διακρατικής συνεργασίας, αλλά και τη συνένωση των δυνάμεων όλων των φορέων προς ένα ανθεκτικό μέλλον στην υγεία τόσο στην Κύπρο και στην Ελλάδα, όσο και  στην Ευρώπη. H πανδημία έφερε στο φως την δύναμη που έχουν τα κράτη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης όταν ενώνουν τις δυνάμεις τους, ξεπερνώντας τα ανοικτά ζητήματα.  

Απαιτείται γοργός βηματισμός για μια κοινή ευρωπαϊκή πολιτική υγείας στην Ε.Ε., ένας σωστός προϋπολογισμός για την υγεία και ένας σχεδιασμός που να λαμβάνει υπόψιν του τη συνοχή και τη μείωση των ανισοτήτων. 

Θεματικές που να συζητηθούν στα δύο panel discussions: 

“How can Europe support the Heath Systems / what we can achieve when united!” 

“Κύπρος-Ελλάδα & Ευρώπη, ποιες είναι οι εξελίξεις στον τομέα της Υγείας;”
