Thank you for your interest in joining the Health Summit of the European Youth Parliament!

The European Youth Parliament is a non-governmental non-profit organisation currently present in 39 European (and Council of Europe) countries, which aims to bring young people from all over Europe together to discuss European issues, share their opinions and build together an open and tolerant European society. Our upcoming Health Summit, organised with support from the Wellcome Trust and EIT Health, will consist of a series of events intended to present a paper of policy recommendations in the field of health, calling among other measures for strengthened global health governance systems, equitable access to quality healthcare, people-centred health innovations, and improved mental health support.

Will you be able to attend the 28th of October Presentation from 16.00-17.00? *

The European Youth Parliament (EYP) is presenting a policy recommendation paper on health. 1000 young participants from all across Europe have jointly produced the paper, titled “Young European takes on Healthy lives and well-being for all”, in which they demand greater solidarity and cooperation to achieve equity in access to healthcare.

In this event, young participants will present the paper “Young European takes on Healthy lives and well-being for all” and exchange ways in which young people can contribute to the public discourse on the future of Europe, in healthcare and beyond.

Will you be able to attend the 29th of October "Health Care Innovations Presentation" from 11.40-13.00? *

The COVID-19 pandemic has offered an opportunity to rethink what role eHealth and digital health innovations should play in future healthcare models. What is the path to safe, effective, and patient-centred health services that advance universal health coverage? How can the challenges of data protection and limited interoperability across Europe be overcome?

In this event, we will present young Europeans’ takes on the future of innovation in healthcare systems, and their vision for a transformed Europe that champions research and innovation in cross-border care.

•Keynote by Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth
•Panel with Simona Guagliardo, European Policy Centre
•Moderated by EIT Health

Will you be able to attend the 30th of October "Health Governance" from 16.00-17.00? *

From inadequate pandemic preparedness strategies to a collapse of international cooperation, European and global systems have struggled to cope with the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organisation has seen shrinking resources limit its scope for action and leadership, raising questions about the effectiveness of international health governance structures. How can supranational institutions achieve sufficient credibility, legitimacy, authority, and accountability for effective leadership? How can the EU unify to develop a common vision for global health, and what should the priorities be?

In this event, we will present young Europeans’ takes on the future of health governance, with particular focus on internal EU cooperation as well as its relationship to the World Health Organisation.

• Dr Beth Thompson, Head of UK and EU Policy at the Wellcome Trust, and Prof Stefan Elbe, Director of the Centre of Global Health at the University of Sussex
