The European Commission is organising a high-level event to discuss the strategic vision for the European Virtual Human Twins Initiative – a major step towards driving AI innovation and making personalised medicine a reality.
Launched in December 2023, the European Virtual Human Twins Initiative supports the emergence and adoption of the next generation of VHTs in health and care. It showcases the EU’s commitment to advancing health data infrastructures, supercomputing capacity, and artificial intelligence, in alignment with core Commission priorities, including the AI Continent Action Plan, and the Apply AI and Life Sciences Strategies.
Since the Initiative’s launch, more than 90 organisations from industry, academia and research have signed the European Virtual Human Twins Manifesto – a Statement of Intent on the collaborative development of VHTs and their increased adoption across the EU.
The event will build on this momentum, bringing together leading stakeholders from across Europe – including researchers, healthcare professionals, industry innovators, policymakers, and Member State authorities – to further shape the strategic vision of the Initiative. A central focus will be on accelerating innovation and bringing VHT technologies into clinical practice.
