Join us at KassenGipfel 2022!
Within the framework of the KassenGipfel 2022, FUTURE PROOFING MEDICINES will take place as a satellite event moderated by Carlos Härtel, the Chairman of the Board of Directors at Science|Business.
Background:
The EU’s new pharmaceutical strategy recognises that secure, affordable and efficient access to new therapeutics and devices will play a key role in strengthening post-pandemic health systems, improving outcomes for patients, and sustaining the global competitiveness of European firms in various health sectors. Policymakers at the EU and national levels also acknowledge the need for new methods of evidence generation and assessment, such as analysis of big and real-world data, to support the development, authorisation, and use of medicines.
In parallel, scientists are making rapid strides toward the next generation of medicines, in areas such as cell- and gene-based therapies and genomics, while advanced computing, AI, common data spaces and more are pushing back the boundaries of what data science can achieve. As the EU moves forward with its new strategy and landmark revision of its basic pharmaceutical legislation, a vital question is how regulation can anticipate and accommodate these scientific and technological breakthroughs, foster innovation, and remain flexible to future health crises, policy priorities and the concerns of major stakeholders.
Against this backdrop, Science|Business – Europe’s leading media organisation specialised in R&I policy issues – is partnering with EIT Health and others to stage high-level dialogues in various EU capitals to gather national perspectives on this issue (under what we call the Future Proofing Medicines initiative).
The September 28/29 meeting in Berlin is an opportunity for German health sector leaders to present their views on the future of medicines regulation, its potential impact on industry and society, and how the power of medical science, health data and digital innovation can be fully harnessed in the years to come. It will be the second high-level meeting of the Future Proofing Medicines initiative, bridging between an expert roundtable in Copenhagen (June 2022) and a public conference in Stockholm (Q1 2023) during the Swedish Presidency of the European Council.
