Accelerating Personalised Medicine: Bridging Sectors, Improving Lives
EP PerMed and ICPerMed will jointly organise a conference in Berlin, Germany, from 27 to 29 April 2027. The event will focus on collaborations to accelerate personalised medicine innovations and solutions into healthcare. Networking and exchange between research, innovation and healthcare are at the heart of the conference, which brings together the personalised medicine community from Europe and beyond.
What to Expect
The programme combines keynote talks, panel discussions, pitch sessions and poster presentations with extensive networking opportunities.
- Pitch sessions in three tracks: research and technology, innovations and solutions, and implementation and impact. Projects will present their work in short pitches, followed by a joint Q&A session.
- Poster exhibition: Participants will be able to apply with a poster along the three tracks research and technology, innovations and solutions, and implementation and impact to showcase their project at the conference.
- Awards: the best pitches and the best posters will be recognised with awards, decided by a vote of all participants.
- Panel discussions: including on the impact of regional systems and on personalised healthcare and prevention.
- Networking and matchmaking: dedicated activities throughout the conference, supported by a networking and partnering tool.
