The EDAH Consortium organises a side event in the frame of the high-level Conference on Personalised Medicine on May 28th and 29th of May. This is a great opportunity to delve into EHDS aspects concerning secondary use of health data use and personalised medicine, particularly in industry settings.
This initiative, supported by Biocat, ScanBalt, Council of European BioRegions, Health Cluster Portugal, and local partners like the Flemish Government, Sciensano and SITRA, aims to update EHDS status and highlight opportunities for advancing personalised treatments in both public and private research realms.
Join us to discuss relevant aspects of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) regarding the secondary use of data and personalised medicine for the European ecosystems!
