Irún, 22 November – On 20 and 21 November, the third meeting of the TRANSIS LAB project took place, a key event that brought together all the project partners from both sides of the border. At Iniciativas Innovadoras, the organisation supporting the consortium in financial and administrative management, we especially value the strength of the joint work and the steady progress the project is achieving.
During the two-day meeting, the partners shared intermediate results and coordinated the next steps to continue advancing a cross-border framework for social innovation aimed at detecting weaknesses among older people in rural areas.
A meeting to consolidate progress
The work programme focused on four main areas:
1- Project progress report
The overall progress of the project was presented, with special emphasis on the intermediate results of the six pilot experiences. These pilots, carried out in rural areas on both sides of the border, are enabling the assessment of weaknesses among older adults and the design of personalised action plans based on shared methodologies and a social support approach.
2- Progress of the digital tools
Technical teams presented the improvements made to the digital tools developed for the project. These solutions will be essential for facilitating data collection, frailty assessment and coordination among social and healthcare professionals.
4- Presentation of the Ethics Committee’s work
The Ethics Committee shared its recommendations and validations, which are essential to ensure that all project interventions respect the principles of confidentiality, informed consent and care for participants.
5- Definition of the next steps
The meeting concluded with a clear roadmap for the coming months, focused on deepening field evaluations, strengthening the interoperability of digital tools and preparing interim monitoring reports.
The role of Iniciativas Innovadoras
From our role in financial, administrative and organisational support, at Iniciativas Innovadoras we highlight:
- The excellent coordination between technical teams across all territories.
- The active involvement of each partner organisation in maintaining the project’s pace of implementation.

We will continue supporting the partner organisations to ensure effective, transparent management aligned with the project’s objectives.
