Dear All, I would like to thank all those who have been working hard on various aspects of the proposal since our last Consortium meeting. We have made substantial progress, and we are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. First of all, I would like to inform you that we have changed the title and acronym of the project, which are now as follows: A-Z-HEALTH: Health in the digital generations, from Alpha to Zoomer So, don't be surprised if you see the slightly changed acronym. It's the same project! We have virtually completed our line up of partners, with more countries implementing interventions than we had originally envisaged (5 for the 12-18 intervention; 4 for the 19-25 intervention). On the academic research side, the Amsterdam University Medical Centre has joined the proposal to lead WP3. The proposal is always accessible in Box (version that includes 3103 in the file name). It is not yet complete or polished, but we are getting there. We have been having some issues with the Box system, particularly with simultaneous editing, therefore we have decided that we will circulate a version of the proposal on Monday morning as an email attachment to all of you, so that you can work offline. We will ask you to check for places where your name is mentioned in the comments, and to provide the information requested, in addition to making any edits that you think would be useful. In the meantime, I am attaching a document that includes preliminary budget allocations. The budgeting process is complex, as you know, and it is still under way, but we would like you to flag any issues that you may spot in the attached, for the time being. Please, note that the attached document does not contain subcontracting costs. Please, do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions before I circulate the proposal on Monday. All the best, Franco
CAUTION: This message came from outside Imperial. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and were expecting this email. Dear Franco, Thank you for the update, and congratulations on the strong progress – it is great to see the proposal coming together and the consortium expanding. We will review the updated version of the proposal once circulated on Monday and provide input where needed. Regarding the preliminary budget, thank you for sharing this at this stage. From our side, we just wanted to flag one point for clarification. Our initial estimate was based on implementing the full methodology, which includes not only the in-person training sessions but also preparation, training of student educators, local adaptation, coordination with schools, and follow-up to ensure quality and impact. From the current allocation, it seems that the level of effort may be primarily linked to the number of training visits. We are of course happy to align with the overall project design, but it would be helpful to confirm whether the intention is a lighter delivery model or a more comprehensive implementation of the methodology in each country. We are very happy to discuss and adjust accordingly to best fit the project. Many thanks again, and we look forward to the next version.

Dear Robert, We definitely want to make sure that all costs are budgeted for, in view of a “full” (as opposed to “light”) delivery of the intervention, and I was indeed slightly puzzled when I read in your previous message that you had accounted for the payment of medical students who will deliver the sessions, because we do not seem to be able to find that information in our records. I am sorry if we have missed any communications from you (it may have happened, as we have been having a few problems with the group email addresses). Would you be so kind as to recap in a new email the budget information you have sent us previously, just to make sure we understand what we may have missed? There is, of course, a question of where the budgets for paying medical students who will be delivering the sessions in each country should sit. Arguably, it may be easier and more appropriate for the National Public Health Institutes that will be leading the implementation in each country to pay those medical students, but at this stage we are primarily concerned about ensuring that the budget is adequate, regardless of where it sits. I look forward to hearing further from you. Thank you.

Sorry, Robert, a quick follow up. I should say that we are increasingly leaning towards the idea of using an approach relying on delivery by medical students also for the intervention in the slightly older age group (in this group, the health and digital/AI literacy programme will be delivered in the final year of secondary school). This will mean that your involvement will have to be increased correspondingly (although two countries will be implementing both interventions, so the number of countries to be covered will “only” in crease from 5 to 7). The good news is that the European Medical Students’ Association (EMSA) has now confirmed their participation in the project, which means that they can support you in a number of ways, from the design of the prorammes to the cultural adaptation in countries, to the recruitment of medical students etc. Franco From: Sassi, Franco Sent: 12 April 2026 12:00 To: 'robert@stiftelsenchoice.se' <robert@stiftelsenchoice.se> Cc: zhealth-consort <zhealth-consort@imperial.ac.uk>; zhealth-mgmt <zhealth-mgmt@imperial.ac.uk> Subject: RE: [Z-health-consortium] Update on progress with EU bid Dear Robert, We definitely want to make sure that all costs are budgeted for, in view of a “full” (as opposed to “light”) delivery of the intervention, and I was indeed slightly puzzled when I read in your previous message that you had accounted for the payment of medical students who will deliver the sessions, because we do not seem to be able to find that information in our records.

Dear All, As promised, I am circulating the current version of the A-Z-HEALTH proposal (Part B) for your review and final contributions. In order of priority, I would like to ask you to do the following: 1. For All. Open the document and search for your name (first name) in the comments placed alongside the text of the proposal. We have asked specific questions and requested contributions in those comments and I would be grateful if you could answer any questions in the comments and provide the contributions requested by adding them directly into the text in track changes mode. 2. For WP leaders. Please, ensure that your WP table in Section 3 reflects all the comments that may have been made by partners involved in tasks. Please, note that deliverables, milestones and risks are listed in separate tables at the end, as required by the latest EC template. 3. For All. Review the rest of the document and make any comments/suggestions/edits that you think may improve the proposal. Please, feel free to be critical if you see anything you do not like. It's better to receive criticism by partners than by reviewers when the proposal is evaluated. 4. For All. At the moment, the proposal is well over the page limit. So, please, be parsimonious when suggesting the inclusion of additional text. Any suggestions you may have about things that you think could be cut would also be most welcome. As you know, the proposal is due on Thursday, so I have to ask you to make the above changes by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, and in any case no later than Wednesday morning at 10am CET at the very latest. I look forward to receiving your final inputs before finalising and submitting the proposal. Thank you for your help.

CAUTION: This message came from outside Imperial. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and were expecting this email. Dear Franco, dear colleagues First and foremost, thank you for including us in this project. I very much look forward to working with everyone involved. I have reviewed the document and added a few comments and suggestions. I kept these to a minimum to avoid altering what has already been agreed upon. Please let me know if any further input is needed from our side, or if it would be helpful to clarify our involvement in any of the work packages. The most important suggestions are the following: - as medical students are not formally recognised as healthcare professionals, I would suggest introducing the term “healthcare trainees” to facilitate clearer and more accurate reference to those involved in the development and implementation of toolkits for behavioural interventions in youth populations - the inclusion of EMSA in WP4 in TP4.2 and TP4.3. As well as WP5 in TP5.2, TP5.3.1, TP5.3.3- to contribute to youth involvement and to the co-creative processes - I have also included EMSA as a participant in WP8, in Task 8.1, particularly in relation to point iv: “collective and participatory sense-making exercises with a multidisciplinary panel”, however please let me know if you consider this appropriate.

In order of priority, I would like to ask you to do the following: 1. For All. Open the document and search for your name (first name) in the comments placed alongside the text of the proposal. We have asked specific questions and requested contributions in those comments and I would be grateful if you could answer any questions in the comments and provide the contributions requested by adding them directly into the text in track changes mode. 2. For WP leaders. Please, ensure that your WP table in Section 3 reflects all the comments that may have been made by partners involved in tasks. Please, note that deliverables, milestones and risks are listed in separate tables at the end, as required by the latest EC template. 3. For All. Review the rest of the document and make any comments/suggestions/edits that you think may improve the proposal. Please, feel free to be critical if you see anything you do not like. It’s better to receive criticism by partners than by reviewers when the proposal is evaluated. 4. For All. At the moment, the proposal is well over the page limit. So, please, be parsimonious when suggesting the inclusion of additional text. Any suggestions you may have about things that you think could be cut would also be most welcome. As you know, the proposal is due on Thursday, so I have to ask you to make the above changes by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, and in any case no later than Wednesday morning at 10am CET at the very latest. I look forward to receiving your final inputs before finalising and submitting the proposal. Thank you for your help.

We have made substantial progress, and we are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. First of all, I would like to inform you that we have changed the title and acronym of the project, which are now as follows: A-Z-HEALTH: Health in the digital generations, from Alpha to Zoomer So, don’t be surprised if you see the slightly changed acronym. It’s the same project! We have virtually completed our line up of partners, with more countries implementing interventions than we had originally envisaged (5 for the 12-18 intervention; 4 for the 19-25 intervention). On the academic research side, the Amsterdam University Medical Centre has joined the proposal to lead WP3. The proposal is always accessible in Box (version that includes 3103 in the file name). It is not yet complete or polished, but we are getting there. We have been having some issues with the Box system, particularly with simultaneous editing, therefore we have decided that we will circulate a version of the proposal on Monday morning as an email attachment to all of you, so that you can work offline. We will ask you to check for places where your name is mentioned in the comments, and to provide the information requested, in addition to making any edits that you think would be useful. In the meantime, I am attaching a document that includes preliminary budget allocations. The budgeting process is complex, as you know, and it is still under way, but we would like you to flag any issues that you may spot in the attached, for the time being. Please, note that the attached document does not contain subcontracting costs. Please, do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions before I circulate the proposal on Monday. All the best, Franco

The most important suggestions are the following: - as medical students are not formally recognised as healthcare professionals, I would suggest introducing the term “healthcare trainees” to facilitate clearer and more accurate reference to those involved in the development and implementation of toolkits for behavioural interventions in youth populations - the inclusion of EMSA in WP4 in TP4.2 and TP4.3. As well as WP5 in TP5.2, TP5.3.1, TP5.3.3- to contribute to youth involvement and to the co-creative processes - I have also included EMSA as a participant in WP8, in Task 8.1, particularly in relation to point iv: “collective and participatory sense-making exercises with a multidisciplinary panel”, however please let me know if you consider this appropriate. Additionally please find attached EMSA`s logo in order to be added to section 3.2 Best regards, Pedro Barata Europeanly yours, [Image removed by sender.] Pedro Barata| EMSA Vice President of External Affairs European Medical Students' Association (EMSA) - Association Européenne des Étudiants en Médecine +351 925005484<tel:+351%925005484>| vpe.elect@emsa-europe.eu<mailto:vpe@emsa-europe.eu> | www.emsa-europe.eu<http://www.emsa-europe.eu/> [Image removed by sender.]<https://www.facebook.com/emsa.europe/>[Image removed by sender.]<https://twitter.com/emsa_europe>[Image removed by sender.]<https://www.instagram.com/emsa.europe/>[Image removed by sender.]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/european-medical-students-association>[Image removed by sender.]<https://www.youtube.com/user/EMSAEU> Dear All, As promised, I am circulating the current version of the A-Z-HEALTH proposal (Part B) for your review and final contributions. In order of priority, I would like to ask you to do the following: 1. For All. Open the document and search for your name (first name) in the comments placed alongside the text of the proposal. We have asked specific questions and requested contributions in those comments and I would be grateful if you could answer any questions in the comments and provide the contributions requested by adding them directly into the text in track changes mode. 2. For WP leaders. Please, ensure that your WP table in Section 3 reflects all the comments that may have been made by partners involved in tasks. Please, note that deliverables, milestones and risks are listed in separate tables at the end, as required by the latest EC template. 3. For All. Review the rest of the document and make any comments/suggestions/edits that you think may improve the proposal. Please, feel free to be critical if you see anything you do not like. It’s better to receive criticism by partners than by reviewers when the proposal is evaluated. 4. For All. At the moment, the proposal is well over the page limit. So, please, be parsimonious when suggesting the inclusion of additional text. Any suggestions you may have about things that you think could be cut would also be most welcome. As you know, the proposal is due on Thursday, so I have to ask you to make the above changes by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, and in any case no later than Wednesday morning at 10am CET at the very latest. I look forward to receiving your final inputs before finalising and submitting the proposal. Thank you for your help.

We have made substantial progress, and we are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. First of all, I would like to inform you that we have changed the title and acronym of the project, which are now as follows: A-Z-HEALTH: Health in the digital generations, from Alpha to Zoomer So, don’t be surprised if you see the slightly changed acronym. It’s the same project! We have virtually completed our line up of partners, with more countries implementing interventions than we had originally envisaged (5 for the 12-18 intervention; 4 for the 19-25 intervention). On the academic research side, the Amsterdam University Medical Centre has joined the proposal to lead WP3. The proposal is always accessible in Box (version that includes 3103 in the file name). It is not yet complete or polished, but we are getting there. We have been having some issues with the Box system, particularly with simultaneous editing, therefore we have decided that we will circulate a version of the proposal on Monday morning as an email attachment to all of you, so that you can work offline. We will ask you to check for places where your name is mentioned in the comments, and to provide the information requested, in addition to making any edits that you think would be useful. In the meantime, I am attaching a document that includes preliminary budget allocations. The budgeting process is complex, as you know, and it is still under way, but we would like you to flag any issues that you may spot in the attached, for the time being. Please, note that the attached document does not contain subcontracting costs. Please, do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions before I circulate the proposal on Monday.

In order of priority, I would like to ask you to do the following: 1. For All. Open the document and search for your name (first name) in the comments placed alongside the text of the proposal. We have asked specific questions and requested contributions in those comments and I would be grateful if you could answer any questions in the comments and provide the contributions requested by adding them directly into the text in track changes mode. 2.

Review the rest of the document and make any comments/suggestions/edits that you think may improve the proposal. Please, feel free to be critical if you see anything you do not like. It’s better to receive criticism by partners than by reviewers when the proposal is evaluated. 4. For All. At the moment, the proposal is well over the page limit. So, please, be parsimonious when suggesting the inclusion of additional text. Any suggestions you may have about things that you think could be cut would also be most welcome. As you know, the proposal is due on Thursday, so I have to ask you to make the above changes by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, and in any case no later than Wednesday morning at 10am CET at the very latest.

We have made substantial progress, and we are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. First of all, I would like to inform you that we have changed the title and acronym of the project, which are now as follows: A-Z-HEALTH: Health in the digital generations, from Alpha to Zoomer So, don’t be surprised if you see the slightly changed acronym. It’s the same project! We have virtually completed our line up of partners, with more countries implementing interventions than we had originally envisaged (5 for the 12-18 intervention; 4 for the 19-25 intervention).

It is not yet complete or polished, but we are getting there. We have been having some issues with the Box system, particularly with simultaneous editing, therefore we have decided that we will circulate a version of the proposal on Monday morning as an email attachment to all of you, so that you can work offline. We will ask you to check for places where your name is mentioned in the comments, and to provide the information requested, in addition to making any edits that you think would be useful.

CAUTION: This message came from outside Imperial. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and were expecting this email. Dear Franco, colleagues, This looks really taking shape! Thank you for all your efforts to-date! Please find attached the latest updated version of Part B from my side, focusing in particular on WP9 and the related sections on knowledge translation, dissemination and impact. I have: * addressed the comments and tags directed to EHNet (incl. ambition and methodology inputs, plus healthy schools input); * revised WP9 and the wider KT/impact narrative to ensure a more focused and realistic level of ambition (avoiding overpromising while maintaining a strong and innovative positioning for evaluators); * strengthened the link to uptake, institutionalisation and policy relevance, including some light additions on political context and conditions for impact; * ensured better alignment with the latest indications on budget and person-months. For clarity, the youth engagement body and related mechanisms are positioned under the relevant research/implementation work packages; WP9’s role is limited to communication, dissemination and uptake-related engagement, including drawing on these structures where relevant - please clarify if that's okay. A couple of quick points/questions for consistency: * Naming: I see both “A-Z-HEALTH” and “AZ-HEALTH” used across the document — should we standardise on one? * WP references: there are a few mentions of “WP10” — I assume this is an error since there's no WP10? * Final event: currently positioned under WP9 (T9.3/T9.4) as a focused final project event. From a budget and delivery perspective, it would be helpful to confirm whether: Related to this, do we want to keep the framing as a focused, policy-facing event, or is there an expectation to aim for a larger European conference (which would have implications for scope and budget)? * this is fully expected to sit under WP9 (incl. organisation/logistics), or * whether any elements are foreseen under WP1. On the WP9 side, the current PM allocation (9+12+12+9) looks broadly aligned with the proposed scope, assuming we keep activities targeted and proportionate as now described. Many thanks, and of course happy to adjust further if needed.

In order of priority, I would like to ask you to do the following: 1. For All. Open the document and search for your name (first name) in the comments placed alongside the text of the proposal. We have asked specific questions and requested contributions in those comments and I would be grateful if you could answer any questions in the comments and provide the contributions requested by adding them directly into the text in track changes mode. 2. For WP leaders. Please, ensure that your WP table in Section 3 reflects all the comments that may have been made by partners involved in tasks. Please, note that deliverables, milestones and risks are listed in separate tables at the end, as required by the latest EC template. 3. For All. Review the rest of the document and make any comments/suggestions/edits that you think may improve the proposal. Please, feel free to be critical if you see anything you do not like. It’s better to receive criticism by partners than by reviewers when the proposal is evaluated. 4. For All. At the moment, the proposal is well over the page limit. So, please, be parsimonious when suggesting the inclusion of additional text. Any suggestions you may have about things that you think could be cut would also be most welcome. As you know, the proposal is due on Thursday, so I have to ask you to make the above changes by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, and in any case no later than Wednesday morning at 10am CET at the very latest. I look forward to receiving your final inputs before finalising and submitting the proposal. Thank you for your help. Franco From: Sassi, Franco Sent: 10 April 2026 18:10 To: zhealth-consort <zhealth-consort@imperial.ac.uk> Cc: zhealth-mgmt <zhealth-mgmt@imperial.ac.uk> Subject: Update on progress with EU bid Dear All, I would like to thank all those who have been working hard on various aspects of the proposal since our last Consortium meeting. We have made substantial progress, and we are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. First of all, I would like to inform you that we have changed the title and acronym of the project, which are now as follows: A-Z-HEALTH: Health in the digital generations, from Alpha to Zoomer So, don’t be surprised if you see the slightly changed acronym. It’s the same project! We have virtually completed our line up of partners, with more countries implementing interventions than we had originally envisaged (5 for the 12-18 intervention; 4 for the 19-25 intervention). On the academic research side, the Amsterdam University Medical Centre has joined the proposal to lead WP3. The proposal is always accessible in Box (version that includes 3103 in the file name). It is not yet complete or polished, but we are getting there. We have been having some issues with the Box system, particularly with simultaneous editing, therefore we have decided that we will circulate a version of the proposal on Monday morning as an email attachment to all of you, so that you can work offline. We will ask you to check for places where your name is mentioned in the comments, and to provide the information requested, in addition to making any edits that you think would be useful. In the meantime, I am attaching a document that includes preliminary budget allocations. The budgeting process is complex, as you know, and it is still under way, but we would like you to flag any issues that you may spot in the attached, for the time being. Please, note that the attached document does not contain subcontracting costs. Please, do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions before I circulate the proposal on Monday. All the best, Franco
