Rare diseases H2020 event in Oslo
The Research Council of Norway have announced that this year’s H2020 European Health/Rare Diseases Brokerage Event will be held in the nation’s capital Oslo.
Hosted in association with French institutes and embassies in the Nordic countries, as well as with the French Norwegian Foundation, the event aims to share information on Horizon 2020 Health, Demographic change and Wellbeing 2016-2017 calls dedicated to rare diseases. Participants will receive the opportunity to present innovative projects to and network with potential partners from both Europe and the rest of the world.
Universities, research organisations, hospitals, companies and patients associations are invited to participate, thereby gaining new, as well as sharing their own, knowledge on the more obscure but no less harmful illnesses.
The inaugural speech will be delivered by the European Commission’s Innovative and Personalised Medicine Unit head Irene Norstedt, and subsequent topic sessions will focus on the diagnosis and therapies of rare diseases.
Places are limited to 80 participants. Registration is free and open until 25 April. The event takes place between Thursday 12 and Friday 13 May.
