We are excited to develop new opportunities to connect with our colleagues and provide up-to-date insights into European and international medical decision making topics.  The virtual ESMDM Spring Event will bring together researchers, decision makers and other stakeholders in a great interactive half day of presentations, workshops and a special social gathering. Our sessions will cover the linking of scientific researchers and international decision-making bodies; we are planning a symposium on future preparedness for outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics; and an interactive workshop on risk communication.

Be sure to attend to chat with colleagues and friends, meet new people and connect with SMDM interest groups in the virtual social gathering.
