Building bridges for cross-border cooperation in health in the DE-NL border
Fourth edition
On 18th November 2024 the fourth cross-border health meet-up will take place in the heart of Groningen city. For the first time, the Cross-border Institute of Healthcare Systems and Prevention together with Rijnland Instituut are co-organizing this event. During this event you will have 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.
A preliminary program for our event can be seen below. We aim to have 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 develop comprehensive solutions.
Thus, do not miss the opportunity to join the discussion and let’s create together more healthy years along the DE-NL border. The places are limited, so first comes, first served! You can register here.
