Online Workshop
November 16th – 17th, 2021
Innovation Flow in the Healthcare

Best practices and lessons learned on personalised medicine are essential to share among European regional institutions in order to promote innovation in healthcare. Therefore, it is necessary to build a strong and dynamic network of different national, regional and local stakeholders including academia, industry, and society, conforming the Quadruple Helix model. Innovation based on patient-tailored approaches offers new technologies and advances in personalised medicine that will be used in hospitals and healthcare facilities, providing the creation of cost-effective and robust healthcare systems.
The outcomes and recommendations on personalised medicine of regional ecosystems are required to gain knowledge and experience as models to implement directly in our healthcare systems. In particular, innovation strategies focus on exploitation of Research + Innovation infrastructures, application of financial instruments and smart and future hospitals will act as a driving force for the promotion of innovation within the context of personalised medicine. Thus, international collaboration among parties interested in personalised medicine and health will offer an interactive interchange of best practices. Sharing experience will be a starting point for setting a new action plan for the development of new policies and enable regions to the readiness of the complete implementation of personalised medicine at the European regional level.
