Supporting the shift towards digital health: what to expect from the European Health Data Space?

About

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) promises more control over personal data for citizens, and better use of our health data for prevention, diagnosis and treatment, research and innovation, as well as for policymaking and legislation.

In this one-hour debate, we will explore what’s in the proposal and what happens next. What are the risks and opportunities ahead?

The What the Chief Says series is linked to our overarching theme of creating a new social contract for Europe by 2030, and will feed into our flagship State of Europe high-level roundtable on 27 October 2022.

‘What the chief says’ events are exclusive, small, informal and off-the-record regular roundtable debates which offer our members the exclusive opportunity to engage directly and get to the heart of a specific policy issue with a senior decisionmaker from a European institution or government. These events are geared to be in tune with the interest of our members and are strategically linked to emerging trends within the EU sphere. It allows us to focus on the opportunities and identify the possible challenges in the European Commission’s own agenda and provides the possibility to go into greater depth and discuss the ‘nitty gritty’ of policies affecting Europe in the next years and beyond.

This 60-minute discussion will include a 10-minute introduction by Claire Burry, after which Friends of Europe’s members will have the opportunity to pose comments or questions in an off-the-record exchange.
