EU10 regions

The project involves 2 pilot regions: Pomurje (a micro-region in Slovenia) & Lodzskie (a large region in Poland) and 8 other EU10 regions to share/test project outputs and results within the framework of the Action Learning & Capacity Building Programmes.

The activity prioritizes those MS & regions where premature mortality exceeds 20% of the EU average (defined by under 65 years standardized mortality rates). In effect, the EU10. Some regions in the EU15 also experience significant health inequalities so they are also a target group for dissemination through e.g. cooperation with the EC Joint Action on Health Inequalities (2011-2014).
