All the participants in the meeting agreed on the great interest that this type of Hubs or “think tanks” arouse in the field of social and health care, where it is so necessary to focus on 21st century skills that are not included in the curricula of our universities, as well as on the 6 megatrends around which the EUVECA Project is working at European level: Ageing population, Chronic diseases, Digital transformation, Modern health consumer, Personalised medicine and Climate change.
