Periodic Reporting for period 2 - SINO-EU-PerMed (Widening Sino‐EU policy and research cooperation in Personalised Medicine)
Reporting period: 2022-01-01 to 2023-06-30
The project brings together the main PM related stakeholders in Europe and China within the consortium itself, but even more through the implementation of the activities. Together, they are working towards the following specific objectives
• To gain knowledge and understanding of the scientific and policy landscape and its main players within PerMed in China.
• To engage relevant PerMed stakeholders in China and Europe and discuss the main needs and barriers for PerMed research and policy implementation.
• To involve stakeholders in China and in Europe from many provinces and countries, covering existing excellence and diversity in both regions and reducing existing gaps.
• To analyse the potential and advantages of collaboration in PerMed between China and EU countries.
• To build links between Chinese and European organisations and research centres with an interest in PerMed R&I and policy and to foster their participation in ICPerMed and the ICPerMed Action Plan.
• To analyse and discuss with major Chinese stakeholders the way forward to integrate China in the ICPerMed challenge groups, workshops, conferences and other events and initiatives.
• To contribute to raising awareness of PerMed and to promote the establishment of international standards in cooperation with ICPerMed.
• To disseminate and communicate project activities and main results.
WP2 represents the strategic start of the project. A stakeholder workshop was held in February 2022, followed by the publication of the Sino-EU PerMed Policy Brief. The mapping of the year 2020 has been updated and the online database has been developed.
WP3 is dedicated to the networking of Chinese stakeholders with ICPerMed and the exchange between R&I. The first Clover Leaf tour took place in Europe in April 2023. The exchange with relevant Chinese organisations has been facilitated.
In WP4 is the knowledge hub of the project. 3 workshops were organised in the reporting period. Two online workshops and one hybrid workshop. Regular exchanges with the Sino-EU S&T Taskforce.
WP5 focused on ethical aspects.
