European Public Health Research in action: Information Day in Brussels, 25 April 2007

Information day on opportunities for submitting proposals under FP7 Health Research's Third Pillar: 'Optimising the delivery of health care to European citizens'

25 April 2007 - 25 April 2007
Austria
The European Commission's Directorate General for Research is organising an open information day on April 25th 2007 in Brussels for those interested in research on 'Optimising the delivery of health care to European citizens', the third pillar of the Health Theme in the Cooperation specific programme under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). This information day will provide information about the scope of the third pillar, submission procedures and experience from FP6 public health research projects. Speakers will include Dr. Octavi Quintana Trias (Director, Health Directorate in DG Research), Dr. Andrzej Rys (Director, Public Health and Risk Assessment Directorate in DG Health and Consumer Protection), scientific officers of DG Research, a National Contact Point and researchers of FP6-funded projects in the area of Scientific Support to Policies - "Providing health, security and opportunity to the people of Europe".

The activity 'Optimising the delivery of health care to European citizens' constitutes the third pillar of the Health Theme in FP7. The second call deadline (18-09-2007) of the Health Theme proposes thirty-two topics in this activity. These topics cover an entirely new field of research in FP7 thereby extending the scope of the Health Theme significantly.

The information day targets the following people in the EU Member States, Associated and Candidate Countries and International Cooperation Partner Countries: scientists, Programme Committee Members and Advisory Group Members, National Contact Points, professional organisations, patient organisations, NGOs, policy makers, national representatives, stakeholder groupings and other intermediaries. The topics of this activity will appeal to health research institutes, healthcare providers and policy makers in Europe and beyond.
