The new European Partnership for Personalised Medicine (EP PerMed) was officially launched on 5 October 2023 at a high-level conference on Personalised Medicine in Valencia. Under the banner of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the conference focused on the influence of Personalised Medicine in the evolution of healthcare for improving people’s lives. The Partnership kick-off is a boost to research in precision medicine across the European Research Area, with 49 partners participating in its development. It will promote all areas and disciplines of precision medicine, facilitate innovation and transfer, as well as encourage its consolidation in health systems, allowing continuous improvement.
