Big thank you to Ilse Vermeulen for sharing here notes from European Health Data and Innovation Summit / TEHDAS2 joint action stakeholder forum last week in Warsaw! We especially appreciate you including the takeaways regarding cancer research - from EOSC4Cancer and beyond!

Today is World Cancer Day, a reminder for all of us to raise awareness and encourage research for its prevention, detection, and treatment. We are celebrating by sharing insights from last week's European Data Health and Innovation Summit. EOSC4Cancer was proud to co-organise the European Health Data and Innovation Summit on January 30th in Warsaw, Poland. The event attracted ~350 in-person attendees and around 2250 online participants. It was organized in parallel sessions, in English or Polish, highlighting a variety of aspects concerning the digitalization of healthcare, Health Data Spaces, and the development of personalized medicine. Experts from the public sector, private sector, and European institutions and initiatives participated in the sessions. The symposium was organized in collaboration with the Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists (Naczelna Izba Lekarska), NIL IN - Sieć Lekarzy Innowatorów, TEHDAS2 joint action, Ministerstwo Zdrowia, EIT Health, and Okręgowa Izba Lekarska w Warszawie.

Cancer research is one of the areas set to benefit significantly from the development and implementation of the European Health Data Space - in turn, the EHDS can gain a lot from the lessons learned from cancer research practices. The EHDS meets Cancer Data Workshop with EOSC4Cancer and TEHDAS2 joint action will discuss how both parties can foster a closer collaboration. During the first session Salvador Capella Gutierrez, EOSC4Cancer Coordinator, and Angelo Solimini, European Commission Policy Officer, will introduce the activities of the EOSC4Cancer Project and the #EUCancerMission.
