This one-day pre-conference is organised by the Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) Partnership as part of the European Public Health Conference programme. The conference will focus on how health and care systems can respond to climate, equity and innovation challenges.

The programme includes four thematic sessions:

  • climate-ready health and care systems;
  • cities, regions and local ecosystems as drivers of transformation;
  • equity, access and inclusion; and
  • future research and innovation priorities for climate-resilient, equitable and innovative systems

More information and registration is available on the event page. This pre-conference is part of the European Public Health Conference, which takes place in Bilbao from 11 to 13 November 2026.

Background: The European Partnership on Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) is a Horizon Europe Co-funded Partnership that supports the transformation of health and care systems across Europe through coordinated research and innovation. Its main activity is funding transnational research projects through joint calls, with the aim of making health and care systems more sustainable, resilient, innovative, efficient, inclusive and people-centred.

Testimonial

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
