Networked Research – Speeding Up Patient Care
Bringing together experts, informing patients, and accelerating the translation of research results into practice – with these goals in mind, scientists, physicians, and patient organizations have joined forces in medical competence networks since 1999. The first nine competence networks and the umbrella organization TMF (Telematics Platform for Medical Research Networks) were established in 1999. On their tenth anniversary, the networks celebrate their jubilee with a festive event on June 11, 2009, in Berlin, providing insights into the future.
Venue: dbb forum berlin, Friedrichstraße 169/170, 10117 Berlin
