Medicon Valley Alliance, together with member organisations Iconovo and Medicon Village, have the pleasure to invite you to the Medicon Valley Alliance R&D Network meeting with the theme: Preparing for the next pandemic – focusing on infectious disease on 25th of October.
The emergence and spread of infectious diseases and global pandemics have occurred regularly in the past, and new pandemics will arise in the future. An important lesson learned from the latest Covid-19 pandemic is that rapidly learning from and responding to an emerging infectious disease outbreak, through the help of innovative diagnostic and treatment methods, is crucial for saving health and lives.
In this MVA R&D network meeting we would like to invite you to hear from speakers from industry and academia who will share their methods, latest developments and insights emerging from their experiences with the Covid-19 pandemic. These Medicon Valley-based companies and organisations will share how they responded, innovated and developed platforms and technologies that would enable society to be future ready when it comes to the next pandemic.
