Roundtable Discussion on the Implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS)
Roundtable Discussion on the Implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS)
Join us for a Roundtable Discussion on the Implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS), taking place on 23 October, from 14:45 - 16:00 CEST following the Healthcare Committee Meeting, which will take place from 14:00 - 14:45 CEST.
This in-depth roundtable discussion will focus on the European Health Data Space (EHDS), a cornerstone of the newly formed European Health Union. It will aim to address critical aspects of the implementation of the EHDS, particularly regarding the data sharing for secondary use, which will be decisive for the future of R&D in Europe. This discussion will help to evaluate the best way forward to ensure that the EHDS catalyses, rather than hampers, health innovation in Europe.
Speaker Lineup
We aim to create an engaging and collaborative environment with expert speakers from industry, academia and policy makers who will share their insights on the new EHDS legislation.
