For two days (on the 26th and 27th of November 2024), in Madrid the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas facilities have hosted European experts and researchers from 18 scientific and agricultural organisations to begin the development of the EU-funded project “OH-FINE”. This initiative aims to jointly create and share knowledge between European researchers and producers. OH-FINE will identify efficient, healthy, organic and viable alternatives for small farm food production. All this information will then be disseminated and shared at a wider level.
This document was produced as part of the #VaccinAction2024 European project by Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network, in collaboration with and endorsed by several Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Patients’ Advocacy Groups (PAGs) from 16 Member States—united in their commitment to protecting the health rights of European citizens.
One year after the end of the pandemic, prevention, immunisation and treatment, along with adequate information, remain essential to continue the fight against COVID-19 infections, especially when they threaten the most vulnerable populations.
These were the topics at the heart of the European workshop organised by Active Citizenship Network, which, thanks to the valuable collaboration of external experts, brought together a select number of leaders of civic and patient associations interested in becoming more involved in the contexts in which they already operate.

On 26 April 2023, Active Citizenship Network organized at the European Parliament in Brussels the 17th European Patients' Rights Day - entirely dedicated to the topic of access to treatment for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products. On that occasion, the EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides stated that “ATMPs give hope to patients where therapeutic options are currently lacking or non-existent, and they must be able to reach patients sooner. Our priority is always to put patients' interest first".
A year later, on 4 July 2024, Active Citizenship Network organized - in continuity with its commitment to the topic - a high-profile European closed-door meeting starting from that statement, aiming at understanding how to provide eligible patients with faster but also broader access to care.

The EU workshop “Towards country-observatories for vaccination promotion: the role of civic and patient organisations” organized in Brussels by Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network on 26 June in the framework of the EU-funded project co-OPERATOR, aimed at laying the groundwork for the involvement in the project of civic and patient organisations committed to vaccination policies at European level. To this end, good practices implemented in this field by the Netherlands, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Malta, Croatia, Ireland and Poland were presented.
Look at some examples of hundred initiatives all around Europe. The European Patients’ Rights Day has become a fixed appointment in to improve patients’ rights in Europe and in each Member State!
