THE PROJECT CONSORTIUM

The B.I.R.O. Project gathers seven public institutions from different regions of Europe.
  • The Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Perugia (Italy) is coordinator of the project. Its activity builds upon extensive work in the field of diabetes research and clinical practice, receiving significant co-funding from Regione Umbria for the establishment of the Umbria Diabetes Register, an activity that will proceed in parallel with the development of B.I.R.O.

  • The University of Dundee (Scotland), Joanneum Research Institute (Austria) and University of Bergen (Norway) are high caliber partners with an extensive experience in the field of diabetes management, built over a solid track record in the coordination of regional and national programs involving the development of diabetes information systems

  • Participation of institutions from Romania, Malta and Cyprus will allow for B.I.R.O. to explore new ways to engage New Member States and Accessing Countries in the creation of permanent diabetes registers that are crucial for the collection of reliable information at the European level

  • The Institute of Diabetes “N. Paulescu” (Romania) involves experts in the field of telemedicine that have been already involved in similar activities in Eastern Europe.
  • The University of Malta (Malta), with a growing expertise in the field of diabetes monitoring, provides B.I.R.O. with the opportunity of starting an extensive data collection in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
  • The participation of the Cyprus Ministry of Health will reinforce our presence in the South-East, matching expectations of the local government that is currently looking for new solutions in the field of health promotion, including enhancing diabetes care and prevention.
