Following three European SIP symposia between 2010-2012, this year for the first time the SIP Programme Committee has decided to invite us to the so-called "SIP Focus Groups", which will take place on 14th and 15th May 2013 in Brussels in the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and in the EU Parliament. The two Focus Groups will concentrate on two topics: "Pain as Quality Indicator of Outcome" and "Chronic Pain in the Working Population".
Organized during the Festival of Europe, the event is dedicated to the presentation of an elaborated report by Cittadinanzattiva and Fondazione Etica. The objective is to make data and information about administrative activity gathered by citizens and workers, available to citizens, central and local public administration workers, the Government and all the stakeholders.
