On 19 November 2024, an event "Northern Perspectives: Health Data in Research and Innovation" will take place in Brussels to explore the role of health data in research and innovation. One of the main themes will be cancer research as an important example illustrating the potential of data use.

The event will highlight the Nordic-Baltic region as a pilot example of cross-border collaboration in health data, share key lessons learned and present innovative research projects and partnerships.

The opening ceremony will feature speeches by Irene Norstedt, Director of the European Commission's Directorate General for R&D, and Vytenis Andriukaitis, Member of the European Parliament, former European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety and former Minister for Health.
