2nd conference on European reference networks

DG Health and Food Safety is organising the second conference on European reference networks, which will bring together highly specialised healthcare providers, experts, national authorities, decision-makers, and independent bodies with experience in the assessment and evaluation of healthcare providers.

The event builds on the success of the first conference on European reference networks which took place in Brussels on 23 June 2014.

This second conference is hosted by the Ministry of Health of Portugal and supported by the Luxembourgish EU Presidency. The conference will focus on the implementation of European reference networks and facilitate the exchange of information and expertise on establishing and evaluating such networks. It will look into the next steps of the deployment process, in preparation for the forthcoming call for European reference networks in 2015.
