Dear Franco, Thank you very much for the update. We have not heard back from the BGF Institute, but we try to follow up with them early next week. The description of WP4 is very helpful and I will send you the WP5 description. Best wishes and Happy Easter! Daniel Am 02.04.2026 um 10:41 schrieb Sassi, Franco <f.sassi@imperial.ac.uk>: Dear Daniel and Stephanie, We had a good meeting last Monday and we made progress in a number of aspects of the proposal. I attach a PPT that was discussed during the meeting, which provides a number of details about the current state of the proposal. I wonder if you have had any replies from the BGF Institute. We would be keen to work with them in this project if we manage to involve them in the tight remaining time frame. The National Public Health Institute (BIOG) decided that they would not be an appropriate partner in the project because responsibility for health promotion interventions is at the State level in Germany, and they mentioned that we may want to involve the State Office for Health and Occupational Safety of North Rhine-Westphalia (Home - LfGA NRW<https://www.lzg.nrw.de/>) if we are planning an intervention in your State. I think if we have an agreement to participate by BGF, this would be sufficient at the proposal stage, and we may mention in the proposal that we will seek a partnership with the State Office during the project. Daniel, I am sharing a description of WP4 in the format that will be included in the application. As you know, WP4 is a “twin” work package to WP5, which you will be leading. So, the description of WP5 will be verry similar in structure to the one attached here for WP4. In particular, the first two tasks will be virtually the same, with minor adaptations, and task 3will involve subtasks that will reflect the intervention components that we have envisaged for the age group 19-25. I would appreciate if you could send me a corresponding table for WP5 by next week. Feel free to overwrite the attached WP4 template and change what needs to be changed. The overall length should be no more than 1.5 pages. Please, let me know if you need any further information or guidance at this stage. I look forward to hearing from you.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and were expecting this email. Dear Markus and Oliver, may I introduce you to Franco Sassi from the UK. Franco and his group are planning an EU project with a focus on 2 age groups (see below). I mentioned that the bgf institute already conducts a program to strengthen health and health promotion in occupational schools (Berufsschulen). The idea is if it was possible to add one of the suggested interventions in package 2 (see attachment) to your curriculum? The interventions described in the attachments can be adapted as needed and serve only as a rough draft. Daniel Wiesen from the Cologne faculty of economics specializes in behavioral economics (Verhaltensökonomie) and Daniel and I would be very happy to help you design a short add-on intervention for your program based on behavioral economics and health literacy (Gesundheitskomptenz). If you are interested we would be happy to talk to you via Zoom. I assume it will be ok for Franco if we do the first zoom meeting in German between Daniel, you and me to clarify questions and to see if this fits your purpose. Looking forward to hearing from you, Kind regards, Stephanie Email from Franco: We are working on three health areas that are strongly associated with young people's behaviours in the age range on which the call is focused (12-25). These are obesity and metabolic health; mental health; and addictions (broadly covering, alcohol, tobacco, substance use, gambling, screen addictions etc.). We have identified two key transitions within the relevant age range. The transition from early to late adolescence (age 12-18, coinciding with secondary school years) and the transition from secondary school to tertiary education/work/independent living (age 19-25). For each of these two age subgroups, we have created intervention packages that include multiple components, as follows: 1. For the age group 12-18: * Health and digital literacy * Self-management of digital media use * Health promoting environments and nudges * Resources and services 2. For the age group 19-25: * Health and digital literacy * Device-assisted monitoring and feedback * Health promoting environments and nudges You will find more detailed descriptions of the actions involved in each intervention package in the attached documents. Ideally, we would have a preference for implementing the intervention package for the older age group in Germany. This could involve, for instance, recruiting young people through schools at the end of the secondary school cycle, and following them up for a period of time after they leave school. Please, do not hesitate to let me know if you need more details at this stage. Mit freundlichem Gruß/ With kind regards Univ.-Prof. Dr. med.
