Euregio Summer School 2026
– Technological Transformation in Healthcare:
Challenges and Responsibilities –
12 May – 16 May 2026 | Cultural Center Dobbiaco
Idea & Program & People
The healthcare sector—both public and private—is one of the key domains in which data-based technologies are already well established, while new AI applications are being developed and continue to emerge at a rapid pace.
While medical practice is becoming increasingly high-tech, it remains one of the most sensitive fields not only with regard to fundamental ethical considerations, but also with respect to concrete regulatory frameworks.
