Biomed Alliance European Workshops
The BioMed Alliance, of which ESPGHAN is a full member, is organizing a series of workshops and educational events aiming to enable a better representation of medical societies in EU health policy. This is even more important for Paediatrics which is, as a field, highly underrepresented and we encourage members to attend as experts in any of the fields on offer.
