The seminar Tuscany: a Healthcare System of Excellence, Attracting Investment and Talent Mobility in Europe, held on February 25 at the European Committee of the Regions (CoR), focused on the role of regions in creating effective healthcare ecosystems, bringing together the perspectives of public authorities, universities, research centers, European networks, and the private sector. Particular attention was paid to how integrated ecosystems can support innovation, skills development, and talent mobility.
Using Tuscany as a case study, the conference presented some good practices for linking research excellence, healthcare services, and entrepreneurship, while encouraging exchange with other European regions and stakeholders.
The discussion also addressed synergies between EU programs and policy instruments supporting health innovation and regional development, contributing to more resilient and competitive health ecosystems across Europe.
The delegation included representatives from Tuscan universities, and the first panel, dedicated to innovation ecosystems in Tuscan universities, featured presentations by:
Marco Pierini, Vice Rector of the University of Florence and coordinator of THE Tuscany Health Ecosystem
Donata Medaglini, Vice Rector of the University of Siena and scientific coordinator of the European Vaccines Hub
