This policy dialogue is the final event of the European Policy Centre’s Task Force on the European Health Union. The Task Force identified challenges and shortcomings along with the action needed at the EU level to build Europe’s resilience to prevent and protect against future pandemics, to address dependencies on other parts of the world as well as to promote healthy populations, reduce health inequalities and build Europe’s R&D ecosystem. The reflections gathered during the meetings of the Task Force were used to formulate policy recommendations which are included in the final report of the Task Force. The key findings of the paper will be presented at this public event with further discussion on the future of the health and the European Health Union, particularly in the context of the upcoming European elections and the new mandate of the European Commission.
