The Centre for Innovation in Medicine and the Rethink Health.eu Initiative are pleased to announce the 7th edition of the Conference on Personalised MedicineReaching the full potential of personalized health and care. For the 3rd year in a row, the conference will be virtual, aiming to share information and transfer knowledge in its purest form. This year’s conference aims to highlight and offer the opportunity for the main topics and themes currently influencing Europe’s health and care to be debated by multiple stakeholders, traditional and non-traditional, shedding light on the need to include as many factors as possible in the co-creation of health policies together with the citizens.

Register here.

The launch of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the Mission on Cancer started a major trend at the EU level. All citizens should become partners in the decision-making process. Innovation can only bring value if citizens are aware of it and embrace it. Personalized Medicine is heading towards Personalized Health and Care. As Prof. Christine Chomienne pointed out in one of our key events this year, “We must reach another level in cancer policies – find what patients and citizens need and work with them to address these needs”.

The conference is structured in five sessions, with satellite events on specific topics under the umbrella of the Personalised Medicine Conference 2022.

If you want to listen and be part of the co-creation of great ideas, we invite you to register for the conference.

*If you are an industry representative, please send an email to [email protected] to get a personalized offer.
