Science Meets Regions - Accelerating Digital Transition in Health

This conference is the final event of the VI Innovation Networking Initiative on the Acceleration of the Digital Transition in Health, a series of 5 seminars organised by the VI regions Lower Austria, North East Romania, and East Netherlands following the JRC’s Innovation Camp methodology, to reflect on how to reduce the burden of traditional healthcare services and to assure the interoperability of medical data.

It springs from the European ‘Science Meets Regions Programme’, coordinated by the European Commission Joint Research Center (JRC). The JRC aims to bring science to Europe’s regions to enhance evidence-informed policymaking.

The main objective of this final event is to highlight the results and deliver the key takeaways from the regional conferences to feedback on administration processes that support the connection of digital and health activities at the regional level.
