Covid-19 lessons learned and looking ahead to ensure a stronger EU Health Security Framework

About this Conference

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a deep and lasting impact on all those touched by the virus, transforming our societies, healthcare systems and the way we live our lives. On 22-23 November, the European Commission brought leading experts together in Luxembourg to discuss the lessons that can be learned from our reaction to the pandemic and how we can better prepare ourselves for future health threats. The feedback from this conference will be used to shape EU policy going forward and to build a stronger European Health Union.
