EFPIA, EUREGHA & Cancer Patients Europe are organising an event that will focus on developing a roadmap at country level to address the growing burder of cancer in Europe.
The event aims to bring together various stakeholders such as policymakers, regional health authorities, patient advocates, and healthcare providers. Through an exchange on the opportunities for health systems and the tangible benefits for patients, as well as an exploration of the challenges in translating research into practical solutions, the event will spotlight successful EU initiatives and regional approaches to uptake precision oncology.
Among the speakers:
- Szymon Bielecki: Team Leader - EU policies, Unit H.3., eHealth, Well-Being and Ageing, DG CONNECT

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
