On the 27th of September the TITTAN COVID19 partners were joined by over 20 stakeholders from across Europe for the Final Conference of the project. It was a hybrid event in which 3 of the partners were able to participate in person and the other two online.
Hosted by the Galician Health and Knowledge Agency (Lead) in Santiago de Compostela, the title of the High level event was "COVID-19 & THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE".
In this Final Conference the project partners will show and share the lessons learned during the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. They will also deepen in practices that have been key in this fight in each of the regions: Galicia (lead partner), Basque Country, Saxony, Lombardy, and Scotland.
It was a great opportunity to conclude the TITTAN project that has been sharing experiences and lessons learned in the field of health innovation for 6 years.
