Building on the success of the 2024 Brussels and the 2025 Dresden editions, we are thrilled to bring the Summer School back to Brussels for its third iteration. This year’s program will put a focus on “Digital Health at the Crossroads: Balancing Progress and Individual Rights”, exploring the urgent regulatory, legal and ethical challenges about how to balance between economic growth & scientific advancement and individual rights & public interest. The Summer School will take place from June 1 to June 5, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium.
The program will feature six intensive modules covering a spectrum of crucial areas, each comprising at least two dedicated sessions:
Health Data for Research and Innovation: Balancing Progress and Privacy
Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Safeguarding Innovation
AI and Intellectual Property in Healthcare: Navigating Governance and Liability
Mental Health and Well-Being: Ethical Design and Regulation
Medical Technology Design and Development: From Innovation to Market
