VPHOP participate to the VPH Concertation Meeting by annalisa bandieri — last modified 2008-12-01 14:31

Representatives of the 15 research projects funded in the second call of FP7 under the topic “Virtual Physiological Human” met in Brussels on 22nd October 2008 in the so-called VPH Concertation Meeting. The meeting proposed by the e-health unit of the DG INFSO, which is in charge of the VPH projects, was intended as an opportunity for exchanging perspectives, agree on common goals, and identify possible collective actions. The workgroups conclusions suggest that a significant coordination work is required.
