The European Innovation Council (EIC) in collaboration with the EIT-Health organize a lunch symposium on 'EIC Cell and Gene Therapy'. A network event will follow the symposium from 15:00 to 17:00 in the new EIC premises. The symposium is organised in the context of the 30th European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy Congress https://www.esgctcongress.com from 24 to 27 October 23.

The ambition of the symposium is to demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of the EIC cell and gene therapy (CGT) portfolio, as a vehicle to achieving critical mass and contributing to European technological autonomy in the CGT field in the medium/long run.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
