March 28, 2023

The EU-funded project Safe-n-MedTech celebrated its official 48th Month Management Committee Meeting on March 7-9, 2023 with a private event taking place in Lisbon. The event was organized and hosted by Instituto Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (IMM), partners in the project. 

The two-and-a-half-day event offered all partners the opportunity to discuss the ongoing activities, following challenges and the best way to face them. “The project ends in 7 months, but we will continue building OITB Pathway and delivering all our services and knowledge. We have set the path with clear plans towards the future!”, Ángel del Pozo pointed. The Consortium had the pleasure to count on the virtual attendance of the Project Adviser, Ozlem Cangar (HADEA), who could follow the critical aspects of the project’s progress. 

The meeting was opened by Ángel del Pozo, Deputy Manager of Programs Strategy at Biokeralty Research Institute, and Scientific and Technical Manager of the project, who offered a comprehensive overview of the latest developments concerning each of the work packages. 

Following this, work package leaders and representatives from all partners presented the most significant advances in their current tasks and highlighted the results obtained to date in each of the project’s work packages. They also had the opportunity to share the latest progress within the Test Cases that are being carried out. On the second day, the consortium established the critical tasks and timelines to fulfil for the successful completion of the project. 

Prior to the main event, a business meeting was held at the facilities of IMM with the aim to discuss the next steps for the successful development of the OITB Pathway, a non-profit organization derived from this project, which will act as a single-entry point (SEP) to help technologies in health care into the market. 

With less than 7 months ahead towards the end of the project it is expected that work will continue in a collaborative and committed manner to achieve the established objectives and goals. At this stage, partners are focused on public relations and communication activities.
