The RADICE (Research‑Action for Inclusive, Collaborative and Equitable Health Decisions) project, financed in 2025 with 5‑per‑mille funds, was also showcased, focusing on improving access and inclusivity for migrant communities.

These activities underline the authority’s emphasis on citizen participation, organizational innovation, and equitable health service design.
