SUMMARY:Taking health up a gear: value of advanced therapies
DESCRIPTION:Advanced therapies have ground-breaking therapeutic potential\, particularly in disease areas where there is an unmet medical need and available therapeutic options are absent or inadequate. These therapies can bring the possibility of a cure to life-threatening conditions with a one-off treatment\, thereby changing the paradigm of providing health and care to patients suffering serious\, rare or complex diseases. \n\n\n\nA breakthrough innovator in the area of rare diseases will explain the cutting-edge science behind gene therapies\, why they are considered so transformative\, and what promise they hold to addressing unmet patient needs. \n\n\n\nA leading developer of the most innovative cancer treatments – CAR-T cell-based therapies will explain the changing paradigm of providing health for cancer patients and how innovation will help achieve the objectives of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will also engage policy makers reflecting live on how EU policies can truly harness the ground-breaking potential of advanced therapies. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nSara Cerdas MEP\, BECA \n\n\n\nDick Sundh\, Head of ACE (Australia\, Canada & Europe) at Kite Pharma\, a Gilead Company  \n\n\n\nDirk Vander Mijnsbrugge\, Vice President Medical Affairs Lead Rare Diseases International Developed Markets at Pfizer \n\n\n\nSimone Boselli\, Public Affairs Director at EURORDIS  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout EuropaBio Advanced Therapies Series: \n\n\n\nThe EuropaBio Advanced Therapies series of events\, interviews\, and publications will engage policymakers\, regulators\, patients and their representatives\, developers\, and all relevant stakeholders to discuss how innovation in gene- and cell-based medicine can bring a transformative value for patients. \n\n\n\nThroughout 2021\, we invite you to join us on a journey of exploring the tremendous potential of advanced therapies by discussing the new treatment paradigms\, the future of research and development in this fast-moving space of bio-science\, as well as debating recommendations for improving the access of patients to these ground-breaking treatments and supporting advanced manufacturing\, to name a few. \n\n\n\nVIRTUAL EVENT \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Renewable Materials Conference
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a unique concept to present all sustainable and renewable material solutions at one event: bio-based\, CO2-based and recycled. This time\, the conference will be held as hybrid event. 300 to 400 participants are expected. \n\n\n\nThere is a growing market demand for advanced and ready-to-use sustainable material solutions with a low carbon footprint – and fossil-free. As a response to this challenge\, nova-Institute has decided to unite all relevant industries in the new Renewable Materials Conference (RMC). Over three days\, participants get a complete overview of the latest renewable material solutions from a wide range of sustainable raw materials and technologies. \n\n\n\nThe first day will be focusing on building blocks and chemicals\, the second on polymers and plastics and the third on plastic and composite materials. Or in other words: All material solutions based on renewable carbon – avoiding the use of additional fossil carbon. \n\n\n\nThe Renewable Materials Conference is the follow-up event to the “13th International Conference on Bio-based Materials”\, which builds on a successful history of previous conferences: In 2019\, more than 270 participants attended and 30 exhibitors were present. It was the second largest event on bio-based materials in Europe and continues within this new concept. The conference also integrates topics from the “Biocomposites Conference Cologne” and extends the conference with presentations on chemicals and polymers from CO2 use (CCU) as well as new solutions from the field of recycling\, so that the entire spectrum of renewable materials is covered. \n\n\n\nnova-Institute’s renewable carbon approach aims to initiate the end of the fossil age of chemicals and plastics and builds the foundation for the RMC. Renewable chemicals\, plastics\, composites\, fibres and other products can be produced either from biomass\, directly via CO2 utilisation\, or recycling. Naturally\, this includes the established areas of bio-based polymers and biocomposites. \n\n\n\nThe conference will help shape the sustainable future of chemicals and materials and will provide new advantages and synergies by establishing a meeting point for numerous cross-sectoral networking opportunities.

SUMMARY:EuropaBio Patient BioForum: Advancing patient access to innovative treatments
DESCRIPTION:2021 is set to be another landmark year in the area of health. It is hoped to not only relieve the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on EU patients and healthcare systems\, but also let the health community advance the great number of other priorities there are. In the EU\, 2021 is set to give a start to the implementation of the European Health Union and the related objectives of the new EU Pharmaceutical Strategy. Among these\, the EU health community is looking to improve patients’ access to therapies for challenging and rare conditions. \n\n\n\nThis meeting of EuropaBio’s Patient BioForum will discuss avenues for enhancing the access of EU patients to novel biotechnology-derived treatments in two sessions: \n\n\n\nMorning session – 10:30-12:00 CET\n\n\n\nPharmaceutical Strategy implementation for continued innovation and delivery in the area of rare and paediatric diseases. \n\n\n\nThe European Commission is discussing on the calibration of incentives for investing in the development of medicines for rare and paediatric diseases both with Member States and stakeholders. We invite the BioForum members to exchange proposals for informing this important debate on several key points\, such as criteria for defining unmet need and incentivising innovation in such areas\, etc. \n\n\n\nAfternoon session – 13:00-14:30 CET\n\n\n\nImproving patient access across borders \n\n\n\nThe EU Directive on cross-border healthcare is an important instrument to ensure patient access to the best available care. The Directive is particularly relevant for advanced therapies and medicines for rare diseases. Well-functioning EU cross-border healthcare legislation can ensure patients have access to specialised treatments and novel therapies when these are not available in their home country. \n\n\n\nThe exchange between guest speakers and BioForum members is aimed to result in the post-meeting release of policy recommendations for how patient access can be advanced in the EU in the context of its new Pharmaceutical Strategy. \n\n\n\nWe very much look forward to your active participation on 18 May 2021.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nVIRTUAL EVENT
