What is a Gatekeeper Twinning?

A Twinning is an instrument which provides financial support to scale up best practices and key outcomes from the Gatekeeper project to other regions in Europe.
The objective of this support scheme is to support knowledge transfer of innovation and good practices (from the originator/s to the adopter/s) in a way that facilitates the latter’s decisions on the deployment of large-scale innovative solutions for health and care delivery to the ageing population.
What activities can be financed under a twinning?
The activities that may be included in a twinning work plan include: Knowledge transfer meetings, Meetings with local stakeholders, Field visits, Viability studies, Cost/benefit analysis, Translations of documentation related to best practice, Dissemination events, Preparation of reports etc.

Who can take part in a Gatekeeper Twinning?
A Gatekeeper Twinning partnership must be formed of (at least):


One Originator
organisation
This must be a Gatekeeper project partner or Pilot Site. Successful applicants from the Gatekeeper open Calls 1+2 are also eligible if they do so in collaboration with a Gatekeeper partner or Pilot Site.

One Adopter
organisation/region
This must be an organisation that manages, implements or participates in the delivery of health and care services in Europe. The participation of EIP on AHA Reference Sites, Digital Innovation Hubs and pilot sites from other large-scale projects financed under the HORIZON 2020 research and Innovation programme is highly encouraged.
Where can I find partners?
There are a number of tools available to ensure that you find the right partners for your twinning partnership:


List of best
practices
The Gatekeeper list of best practices is available online and lists those practices and digital health and care solutions that the Gatekeeper partners are keen on scaling-up to other regions in Europe. You can browse through the list to see if there are any best practices that your organisation/region would like to adopt and reach out to the contact person for that practice.

Gatekeeper
LinkedIn group
The Gatekeeper project has a specific group on LinkedIn where potential adopters can showcase specific elements of the project that they are interested in scaling-up. The Gatekeeper Twinning Team will endeavour to put them in contact with the right organisation within the Gatekeeper project consortium.
