BioMedBridges participated as one of the invited projects at the “Convergence workshop” in Brussels last week (20-21 March). The workshop is is jointly organised by DG Connect and EuroRec.
The aim of the workshop, which is held about twice annually, is to connect projects with similar aims in the e-health area so that they may interact, share expertise on common issues, collaborate and, where possible, even share or reuse each other’s tools.
The involvement of BioMedBridges is primarily based on the project's personalised medicine use case; however, many or all of the topics discussed (semantic interoperability, quality metrics, ethics/personal data and business models/sustainability) are pertinent all the way across BioMedBridges.
BioMedBridges is establishing interactions with a number of the projects participating in the Convergence workshop and this was an excellent opportunity to network.
