The workshop outputs will be reviewed by the steering committee and may be considered for future programmes in collaboration with Novartis.
Together, imagine what we’ll achieve.
Two virtual talks discussing current hot topics in MS will be held across two evenings in November and delivered by expert speakers leading the charge in healthcare innovation.
