This 11th edition is focused on the challenge to align scientific and patients’ objectives with regulatory requirements along the whole developmental process of health products. All the stakeholders are involved in this challenge, because they should be aware of the criteria by which the authorisation and access to products will be measured and granted an approval to cover patients’ specific needs.

Key opinion leaders and experts coming from all over Europe will tackle three main topics: health data supporting medicines and healthcare, also in the light of the GDPR; the new era of medical devices in Europe; rare diseases and Orphan Medicinal Product Regulation.

Some of the speakers of this edition: Joseph Torrent-Farnell, Catalan Health Service; Laura Fregonese, EMA; François Houÿez, EURORDIS; Annamaria Donato, Italian Ministry of Health; Alan Fraser, Cardiff University, UK; Valentina Cardinale, Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Graziano Pesole, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and Elixir; Marco Roos, Leiden University Medical Center.

The XI Foresight Training Course is aimed at involving and networking people to properly understand the many novelties of the EU system and contributing to their implementation to anticipate on the market good medicines and other products for human health and wellbeing. It represents a great opportunity for companies, regulatory experts, patients, academia, researchers and post-degree students to discuss the recent updates in regulatory sciences.
