An independent jury selected EDEN-Medical based on its impact on citizens, cross-border collaboration, cooperation between government, industry and academia, and the scalability of its results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our project explores how cross-border drone logistics can strengthen healthcare resilience and improve the availability of critical medical supplies \u2013 particularly in emergencies and crisis situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with nine partners from Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, we are working to address the medical, technical, regulatory and operational challenges of cross-border drone transport. Our goal is to demonstrate how cooperation across national borders can help overcome existing barriers and contribute to a more resilient healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This award is not only recognition of our collective efforts, but also of the wider potential of EDEN-Medical: showing how cross-border cooperation can pave the way for innovative solutions in healthcare \u2013 in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big thank you to all our project partners and everyone contributing to making this vision a reality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EDEN-Medical is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Meuse-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) programme, with additional co-financing from the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Province of Limburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1e2e5166 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"4995\" src=\"https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704657761-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704657761-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704657761-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704657761-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704657761.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1791811889270-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1791811889270-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1791811889270-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1791811889270-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1791811889270-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1791811889270-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704658147-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704658147-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704658147-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704658147-767x512.jpg 767w, https:\/\/crossborderitem.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/1793704658147.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are proud to announce that our Interreg EMR EDEN-Medical project has received the Impact Maker Award at Interreg Spotlight 2026, held on 27 October 2026!
