The Director of Active Citizenship Network has been invited to speak at the 6th Edition of Singapore Nursing Research Conference, hybrid event scheduled to take place at Singapore and online from March 19-21, 2026.

Many of us already know that vaccines can prevent severe respiratory infections, but not everyone realizes that preventing these infections also protects people living with or at risk of chronic disease, and especially cardiovascular disease.
Under the EU Safe Hearts Plan, the European Commission will propose a Council recommendation on immunisation against respiratory infections as a preventive measure for cardiovascular disease.
We are delighted to invite you to this new online information session (in English) - realized in the framework of the EU-funded project PROPHET - on Tuesday, 10 March 2026, 15:00–16:30 CET. Please register here.
We often hear about “health innovation,” but what does it mean in everyday life? This 90-minute online session is a chance to explore it together—in clear, simple words, with practical examples and time for your questions. We’ll learn together how personalised prevention is changing health for all of us
On Thursday, 22 January 2026, 18:00–19:30, join our online session (in Italian) “Right to Innovation: Understanding Personalised Prevention.” In 90 minutes—plain language, real examples—we’ll explore what personalised prevention is, why it matters for every citizen, and how it’s being developed within the PROPHET project. We’ll look at everyday cases (breast cancer, cardiovascular risk, pharmacogenomics, targeted vaccinations) and the idea of a “genetic/pharmacogenetic passport”—what it is, how to get it, where it’s already used, what’s happening in Italy, and the benefits and barriers to fair adoption. There will be time for questions, and we’ll collect ideas for future meetings. We’d love to have you with us: the more we are, the more we learn.
The final IHI FACILITATE project event will present at the EU Parliament the project’s main results within the framework of the MEPs Interest Group on Patients’ Rights and Cross-Border Healthcare. Clinical trials generate valuable individual-level data, which is rarely returned to participants. FACILITATE has addressed this gap by developing an ethically and legally robust framework for the Return of Individual Participant Data (RoIPD) in the EU. The event – hosted by the MEP Vytenis Andriukaitis - will highlight progress made in shaping RoIPD processes in line with EU law, including the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) and GDPR, while drawing on international best practices. It will showcase how RoIPD can empower participants, improve health literacy, and advance medical research.
The Director of Active Citizenship Network has been invited to speak at the 10th LifeCourse Prevention Summit, taking place alongside the 17th Excellence in Pediatrics (EIP) Conference at Melia Paris La Défense on 4–5 December 2025.
