What does it mean to be inclusive in medical practices? What does good engagement of society look like, and what obstacles do we encounter?
Virtual Meeting Platforms (VMPs) are events that are part of the City Labs of our UNIC Alliance. In our VMPs we bring together people and practices from different cities and universities to tackle challenges that are typical for our post-industrial cities. The objective of the VMP of 16 May is to bring together students and staff of the medical faculties of the various UNIC partner universities, and staff from local NGOs to learn and discuss about Public Health themes related to inclusion.
