Members of GEECS presented at the ECOgenomics Conference. The Health Economics Team of the Economics Laboratory of Dijon (University of Burgundy) organizes the "European Conference on the Diffusion of Genomic Medicine: Health Economics & Policy" on May 27th and 28th, 2021. This two-day symposium alternates plenary sessions and parallel thematic sessions and brings together researchers in the human sciences, mainly in health economics, but also researchers from other disciplines. It will contribute to the development of research in genomic medicine concerning its evaluation, its dissemination, and the public policies accompanying this new type of medicine.
