Decription of the project

A total of 20 institutions from 10 countries are participating in the SUNRISE project, which is funded by the European research programme HORIZON. The aim of the programme is to develop sustainable digital interventions to prevent the most important behavioural risk factors for cancer: tobacco smoking, obesity and unhealthy eating in the target group of young people. On the one hand, the project will optimise established and effectiveness-tested measures, such as the SmartCoach programme developed at the ISGF, and implement them in the participating countries. On the other hand, these will be combined with innovative approaches, e.g. via social robots and social media campaigns, tested in pilot studies and made available to prevention partners in the participating countries. The project is being implemented in 154 schools with 7,500 pupils in eight European countries (Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia, Spain, Cyprus, Italy, Belgium and Romania). In the project, the ISGF is responsible for the overall scientific management, prepares reviews on the accessibility, use and effectiveness of digital prevention programmes among young people, optimises the SmartCoach programme and examines the acceptance and effectiveness of the interventions, including in the context of cross-national, randomised controlled studies.
