About
The EuroBioForum Annual Conference 2013 is a forum to exchange views on the state of affairs in policy development and deployment, and on the challenges with respect to policies, implementation strategies and required investments.
A collaborative approach to Personalised Medicine
Personalised Medicine needs involvement of all stakeholders: how can we address the challenges to find solutions? The complexity of diseases and the biology of humans is calling for a different approach. But the question is whether the current focus of Personalised Medicine is the solution. What are current perspectives in policy making and funding of Personalised Medicine? How can the aforementioned issues be addressed? How to tackle the future challenges in Personalised Medicine?
This year the Conference will explore the potential areas for transnational and transregional collaboration. Leading experts will offer insight into current developments in their countries and regions. We expect contributions from Germany, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and various European regions in Spain, France, Sweden, Italy and Austria.
Objectives
- Provide insight into current national and regional policies, funding instrumentation and strategic research & innovation agendas in Personalised Medicine.
- Facilitate participants to meet other ‘key players’ in the field of Personalised Medicine and to learn from each other’s experiences.
- Explore specific topics for possible coordination and cooperation.
-
Encourage joint public-public and/or public-private partnerships.
Targeted participants
- Representatives of national governments, bioclusters, regional initiatives, funding organisations, national research councils, patient organisations, representatives of European Commission and industrial federations.
