Dear Yvette,
Thank you very much for your positive reply, and also for being transparent on your Institute’s possible participation in a competing bid. I would like to share two
brief documents (attached) containing descriptions of our two intervention packages aimed, respectively, at the age groups 12-18 and 19-25, in case they have not been shared with you before. It would be great if your Institute were willing to take the lead
on implementing one pf the two packages (preferably the one for 19-25 year olds) in a sample of young people in Germany. Perhaps we can schedule a call later this week to discuss the feasibility of this.
Sincerely,
Franco

Dear Katja,
Thank you very much for your patience! We would be very happy to participate. The tasks briefly outlined below fit very well with our profile and services.
We look forward to receiving more information.
Just to be transparent: a colleague from another unit informed me that they have also been approached for this project and are assessing participation.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards,
Yvette

Dear Katja and colleagues,
Many thanks for the invitation sent. The project sounds very interesting and relevant.
We will come back to you beginning of next week as we need to assess both our involvement and the possible input with other colleagues at BIÖG indeed.
Kind regards,

Betreff: Invitation to join Horizon Europe bid on behavioural interventions in young people
Dear Yvette, Christina and Verena,
I am reaching out to you on behalf of a partner consortium led by Imperial College London (cc-ed Franco Sassi) for a bid on the Horizon Europe call concerning behavioural interventions in young people. The call I am referring
to can be found here: HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-STAYHLTH-02
https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-STAYHLTH-02
It has a deadline of the 16th of April 2026.
We were wondering if BIÖG would be interested in joining our proposal, titled "Z-Health - Health in the digital generation", as a leading institution from Germany that could become one of the partner countries to implement
interventions and co-create with young people (age groups 12-18 and 19-25). We were very excited to learn about the launch of your Jugendbeirat (Youth Advisory Board) and thought your institution would be a great fit for our consortium.
Currently, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, the National Institute of Public Health Slovenia, Issinova, and a few others have already joined the partner consortium.
Please let us know if you would be interested in joining the bid and learning more about the project proposal itself, and we would also appreciate an answer if you are already a part of a different bid for this specific
call.
We remain available in case of any questions.
Wishing you a lovely rest of the day!
Kind regards,
Katja
