THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE
The Brussels Conference will be open to participants from partner regions, invited external stakeholders and wider participation from regional, national and EU-level institutions, organisations and civil society.
The aim of this European Regional Conference is to engage network partners and other stakeholders at regional, national and EC level to debate both our findings and recommendations. Also we would like to stimulate EU-wide debate and action on how the economic and social development potential of health sector investment across European regions is realised to support delivery of the Lisbon Agenda. Besides we want to explore further development of this agenda within the context of opportunities within the Interregional Cooperation Programme and Regions for Economic Change (2007-2013) and creating sustainable and efficient health care systems under FP7.

THE BUDAPEST CONFERENCE
The purpose of the first conference in Budapest was to engage network partners and other stakeholders at regional, national and EC level in debate about the contribution of regional health systems to economic and social development at regional level. The aim was to continue the process of EU-wide debate and action on how the economic and social development potential of health sector investment in European regions is realized in order to support delivery of the goals of the LISBON AGENDA.
The Network Conference presented practical knowledge, lessons learned and policy recommendations from our procurement and capital investment themes. It also looked forward to the employment and innovation themes.
