Eco-OncoWork Project: Innovation for Healthy and Inclusive Work Environments

The Eco-OncoWork project – Promoting Healthy Work Environments and the integration of professionals with oncological disease is funded by the FAZER + Programme, a Science and Innovation Support Programme of Lusófona University, coordinated by the Psychology Service Innovation and Knowledge / Hei-lab - Digital Human-environment Interaction Lab and the Portuguese Laboratory of Healthy Work Environments. The project aims to study and propose an intervention model to promote a healthy work environment for professionals with oncological disease. To this end, it intends to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-level ecological intervention model, supported by digital technology, with the objective of promoting healthy, inclusive and sustainable work environments for professionals with oncological disease.

On 14 January 2026, at 10:30 am, at Lusófona University, the project kick-off meeting took place. We brought together different external partners from the National Health Service, Patient Associations, public, private and social companies, and other relevant organisations.
