From September 9-11, LCHL researchers prof. Anniek de Ruijter, dr. Katrina Perehudoff, dr. Mahsa Shabani, dr. James Hazel, dr. Nina de Groot, and Isabel Benedict had the opportunity to attend and contribute to the European Association of Health Law conference in Uppsala.

Anniek delivered a keynote titled "Renewal of Solidarity: Health Systems and the EU in a Changing World Order", addressing the strain under which Europe's health systems currently find themselves.

James presented "Opt-In or Opt-Out? Secondary Use of Genomic Data Under the European Health Data Space Regulation." The presentation examined how the EHDS’s general opt-out framework applies to genomic data and what flexibility Member States retain to introduce safeguards tailored to different types and uses of genomic data, using recent Dutch implementation discussions as a case study.

Mahsa chaired the session "Digital Health, Platforms and Online Environments", facilitating discussion on connected health technologies, online public health communication, telemedicine and consent in AI-driven healthcare.

It was a valuable opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and share our expertise with colleagues from across Europe. We look forward to continuing these conversations at future events.
