Brief description

Development of a Plan for the Participation of Patients and Healthcare Professionals.

Objectives

• To facilitate the participation and formal contribution of patients, consumers and healthcare professionals in the regulatory activities of the AEMPS throughout the entire life cycle of products within its sphere of competence.
• Establish outreach and training activities for patients and healthcare professionals that support the above objective. • Promote mechanisms for ongoing communication with them.

1.9.2. Strategy for promoting and disseminating scientific culture in society

Brief description

CIEMAT's strategic dissemination plan for the coming years has been developed based on the centre's needs and past experience. The strategy is based on four main lines of action that have been defined taking into account the target audience and the objectives to be achieved. These lines are:
1. Promotion of scientific and technological vocations.
2. Promotion of scientific culture.
3. Support for science teachers.
4. Development of citizen science initiatives.

Objectives

Much of our outreach efforts will focus on fostering an interest in scientific thinking among young students across a wide range of ages. The strategy for achieving this involves raising the profile of scientific role models and presenting our centre and its various career options, as well as developing critical thinking from an early age. Similarly, it is necessary to foster general interest in science, eliminate barriers between the scientific community and society, and promote understanding and critical thinking on scientific issues, which are the cornerstones of our outreach strategy. Teachers of scientific and technological subjects play a fundamental role in promoting scientific culture among future generations. In order to boost the educational community's knowledge of scientific and technical matters and provide resources and teaching materials, a series of events will be organised for teachers of science and technology subjects at preuniversity level. "

1.9.3. Promotion of scientific and technical vocations among young people

Brief description

To encourage young people of all ages to participate in the work carried out by the National Geographic Institute (IGN). To this end, the aim is to organise various activities that seek to connect young people with science and technology, such as a series of competitions in which primary and secondary school pupils can submit projects for which they will be awarded prizes.

Objectives
• Achieving quality education, working against educational inequality and promoting scientific and technical vocations.
• Improve the image of these career paths among young people.
• Increase interest among young people in professions within the public administration.
• Bring the IGN's projects and work closer to young people."

1.9.4. Forum for the Digital Transformation of Justice

Brief description

The FTDJ is a pioneering initiative in the field of joint creation of improvements and valuable solutions for the administration of justice. This forum is active throughout the year and is organised into four main strategic areas, which are in turn divided into several working groups. Experts from the technology sector, the legal sector, both private and public, opinion leaders, and representatives from different administrations and institutions participate in these groups.

Focus groups are also presented as a fundamental tool for improving public justice services and demonstrating the advantages they can offer in their relations with this public service. The tools designed in these processes must be accessible to people with disabilities and must comply with accessibility standards by providing simple interfaces.

Objectives

The objective is to improve the overall efficiency of the justice system through collaboration and the use of technology and the digitisation of judicial and extrajudicial processes to facilitate access to justice. All of this is part of the Justice 2030 Strategic Plan. This makes it possible to gather all proposals and initiatives for improvement through constant and joint work by society in general, the public sector and the private sector, positioning not only the justice sector but the entire country at the forefront of digital transformation. In addition, through the participation of end users in Focus Groups, it allows them to learn about all the possibilities that the new tools offer them, as well as to receive training on how to use them correctly.

Technological changes are always accompanied by cultural changes that must be overcome through training and the dissemination of information. Furthermore, by including people with different types of disabilities, these tools are ensured to be accessible to all."

1.9.5. Participation in the administration of justice by organisations representing particularly vulnerable groups

Brief description

The MPJC has focused on people who interact with the justice system, placing special emphasis on bridging the various gaps that exist and generate significant inequality and inequity. These gaps can be combated through technology, without the use of that technology creating new gaps. With this objective in mind, a series of initiatives to address diversity have been launched within the framework of the Justice 2030 Plan, which bring the Public Justice Service closer to everyone without leaving anyone behind.

Objectives

Seek and facilitate opportunities for collaboration with associations that serve particularly vulnerable people to ensure that the digital transformation process also involves these individuals and takes their special needs into account, in order to guarantee their digital inclusion and the accessibility of all tools and systems developed as part of this transformation process. We must ensure that the benefits of the digital transformation of justice reach all citizens equally, which is why bridging gaps and protecting the most vulnerable must be a priority in the provision of this essential public service."
1.9.6. Procedural facilitation for persons with disabilities

Brief description

The public contract will aim to develop a pilot project for procedural facilitation, which will consist of identifying and implementing individualised adaptations and adjustments for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities. It will be applied in civil and criminal proceedings within the territorial jurisdiction of the Ministry.

Objectives

To enable persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities to participate in legal proceedings on an equal footing."

1.9.9. Gender perspective in inclusion policies
