This conference, organised by the Commission, will bring together climate change & health researchers, funders and policymakers to reflect on the current challenges and needs for research in this area. Additionally, the conference will support the launch of a strategic research and innovation agenda identifying the priority topics for the years to come.

The conference will focus on four themes:
- Short and long-term impacts from climate change
- Climate change in the context of other environmental stressors
- Climate change and the health sector
- A global research agenda on climate change and health

The conference will also include an exhibition space. Information on calls for poster submissions will be available soon.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
