EcoQUIP+ Webinar Series
The EcoQUIP Plus webinar series has now finished. We hope to run this again in 2021 so please follow us to be the first to know about any new events.
Innovation procurement in practice for the healthcare sector
EcoQUIP+ is currently running a Webinar Series covering key aspects of Innovation Procurement, also known as Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI). The webinars are presented by practitioner experts in the field who use case examples to show how innovation can deliver better outcomes and better value for the healthcare sector and wider public services. The main presenter throughout the series is Gaynor Whyles of the EcoQUIP+ consortium, a highly respected expert in Innovation Procurement.
While the webinar programme is intended largely as an introduction, it will bring different perspectives and learning from across Europe, with an opportunity for questions to be asked to our experts.
