EHTEL Thought Leader Symposium 2027

Day 1 – EHTEL Members’ Meeting, New Year Reception and Networking Dinner

The first day will kick off with the EHTEL Members’ Meeting, bringing members together to explore the latest developments on EHDS implementing acts and gain insights into selected calls from the 2026–2027 Horizon Europe Work Programme. The programme will also feature a dynamic matchmaking session, offering an opportunity to exchange ideas, connect with potential partners, and explore project proposals together.

EHTEL members are welcome to bring a friend — a non-EHTEL member interested in joining a consortium for one of the selected Horizon Europe calls. It’s a great opportunity to expand the EHTEL community and build new collaborations.

Registration for the Members’ Meeting requires an access code. If you haven’t received yours, please contact Maria Leeman at administration@ehtel.eu.

Later on the first day, we’ll gather for the New Year Reception, welcoming in 2027 with a keynote speech from a European Commission representative. The reception, which will be open to the wider community, will be an opportunity to connect, exchange perspectives, and start the new year together.

We’ll round off the first day with a Networking Dinner, featuring a walking dinner and drinks. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, it will provide the perfect occasion to continue conversations, strengthen connections, and explore new ideas beyond the formal programme.

Day 2 – EHTEL Thought Leader Symposium

The second day will be dedicated to the EHTEL Thought Leader Symposium, with the theme of “From Data Compliance to Data That Works”. Through insightful sessions and discussions, we’ll explore the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and look beyond compliance towards making health data work in practice. The Symposium is open to the public, and will bring together stakeholders from across the digital health and care ecosystem. It will provide a mix of presentations and inputs from EHTEL members, the wider EHTEL community, and the ecosystem at large.
