As part of ENKORE, which brings together 52 partners from 15 EU countries, the UK, and the USA, experts from various fields will work on eco-friendly solutions for the healthcare sector. The project’s goal is to create the conditions for the development of sustainable, circular, and safe medicines, their packaging, and medical devices.

The Medical University of Lodz was represented at the meeting by Prof. Przemysław Kardas, Prof. Anna Lipert, and Dr. Paweł Lewek, who contributed their expertise in medication adherence and co-creation of innovations, leveraging UMED’s Living Lab and its ecoUMED environmental policy.
