- moot court on vaccine liability in Covid-19;
- 15 roundtables of current hot topics;
- new investment models in life sciences companies;
- compulsory licensing or co-opetition arrangments: a new way to access medicines and vaccines?;
- international transparency and cooperation for pricing / reimbursement;
- beyond data protection: wider legal and ethical considerations around data collection and use; and
- will artificial intelligence replace physicians? AI reshuffles the cards by reallocating roles, risks and liabilities.
