The 9th yearly EHTEL Symposium will be anchored on the well-being of European societies e.g. through health promotion and prevention policies. Participants will explore how user-driven digitisation – enabled by all those working to innovate in technologies and services – is delivering benefits to empower all stakeholders in health. The 2018 event will again be kindly hosted by EESC, the voice of the organised civil society in the Union’s decision making process.
