Cross-Border Health Research Meet-up
On 18th November 2024 the fourth cross-border health meet-up took place in the heart of Groningen city. For the first time, the Cross-border Institute of Healthcare Systems and Prevention together with Rijnland Instituut co-organized this event. During this event participants had the opportunity to:
-
Hear about the most recent research findings of the ongoing cross-border health research projects being conducted within the CBI (CHARE-GD projects)
-
Know about different cross-border health initiatives along the DE-NL border, from the north to the south.
-
Connect with healthcare practitioners, health researchers, health policy makers and public health authorities from both sides of the border.
The program for the event can be seen below. We had an open discussion about the cross-border health challenges that we face and the potential solutions we can create. We are convinced that only by working together researchers, healthcare professionals, health policy makers, health insurers and citizens, we can develop comprehensive solutions.
