Special Feature: Transforming European Health Systems in the Wake of COVID-19

Summary:

This month's special feature showcases seven EU-funded projects that are laying down the foundations for technologies and processes which will likely be commonplace within European Healthcare within the next 10 years or so.  Project of the Month focuses on COVID-X, an ambitious project that aims to help fund and support some of Europe's most innovative SMEs in order to help them devise solutions that will see us through the pandemic and to the other side.  Meanwhile, Life After reconnects with the iSIM project and finds out how they have further developed and refined their pioneering micro satellite which has been making waves in the EU's space industry.  Finally, EU Agenda highlights upcoming events in May.
