The European Commission in cooperation with CenSec (Centre for Defence, Space and Security and Danish Life Science Cluster) organizes a European conference in Aalborg, Denmark.

This European Conference is meant to create awareness, and foster innovation, collaboration and synergies between the military and the healthcare sectors.

Themes:

  • What is Europe’s vision for health and defence in an era of new threats. Is it possible to find a unified European front?

  • Before the battle: Strengthening the Resilient Soldier through preventive healthcare. The critical role of preventive healthcare in preparing soldiers for the challenges of war and enhancing their resilience.

  • During the battle: Medical Countermeasures. This theme explores the many ways various devices, biologics or drugs may be used as medical countermeasures in wartime scenarios or on the battlefield.

  • After the battle: Treatment and recovery of wounded soldiers.

The conference also includes keynote speakers from both government and industry, networking dinner, B2B opportunities and an exhibition area.

The event is organised in the framework of the European Network of Defence Regions (ENDR), managed by the European Commission's DG DEFIS. The conference will contribute to the ENDR objective of bringing together regional authorities and clusters to share experiences and best practices in developing defence-related strategies and accessing EU funding, in particular for the benefit of SMEs.

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.
