The PRECISEU Best Practice Recognition is more than a contest—it is a movement to accelerate the future of personalised medicine across Europe. Born from the PeRsonalised medicine Empowerment Connecting Innovation ecoSystems across EUrope (PRECISEU) programme, this visionary initiative shines a spotlight on pioneers who are translating cutting-edge science into realworld care—especially through the innovative and responsible use of health data. With ambitious purpose it celebrates exemplary practices that not only push the boundaries of what’s possible but also make these breakthroughs accessible, equitable, and impactful for all. This recognition is a catalyst for transformation—bridging science and society, innovation and implementation, vision and care. It calls upon researchers, entrepreneurs, institutions, and citizens alike to lead with purpose, collaborate boldly, and ensure that life-changing therapies reach every patient, everywhere—fast and fair. PRECISEU Best Practice Recognition honours not just innovation, but the courage to act, the will to include, and the power to change lives.
PRECISEU is excited to announce the Best Practice Recognition Edition 2, an event to accelerate outstanding innovation in healthcare data utilisation. The Recognition Ceremony will take place in June 2026 at the Spinoff Europa Conference 2026, Sofia.
