Approach and implementation
The 4 partners were adequate for the project and the 4 work packages fit the objectives well. A delay in time occurred for work packages analysis and validation (late delivery of data and the pandemic). Ehealth aspects and experiences among childhood cancer survivors were investigated in the mean time. Technical exchange among partners was approached. Factors of success included long term planning, engagement and participation of domain experts, leadership and communication, as well as flexibility among partners and funding sources.
