By pushing a big, red, digital button, the EU Public Health Information & Knowledge System (EUPHIX) was launched by Marc Sprenger (director-general of the RIVM). This happened June 20th at the EUPHIX.org Launch Symposium in Leiden, the Netherlands. Representatives of public health institutes from several European countries were present, as well as experts who contributed to the EUPHIX.org content as author or reviewer.
During the Launch Symposium a new project, Intelligence Network for EUPHIX (IN-EUPHIX) was announced. IN-EUPHIX aims to increase the EUPHIX content with 50 health topic reports over the course of two years. The RIVM has, together with 11 associated and 11 collaborating partners, applicated for EU funding of this project.
