We are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration of innovation in life and health sciences, driven by the convergence and emergence of technologies, novel concepts and social developments.

Data and artificial intelligence revolution, the bio revolution including new genomic techniques, omics and personalised medicine are but a few innovations.

Our goals:

  • Support the promotion and uptake of innovative approaches in life and health science research and healthcare
  • Ensure that transformative innovations are evidence-based and supported by risk-benefit-determinations, ethical and compatible with the European Way of Life
  • Help foster a multidimensional and interdisciplinary understanding of innovation and future regulatory and policy needs
