Kick-Off Meeting – Paris, May 12-13, 2025
The IMPROVE PRETERM project officially launched with a two-day kick-off meeting in Paris, hosted by the project coordinator INSERM. Representatives from all 20 partner institutions gathered to plan the first steps of this four-year European research initiative dedicated to improving lifelong health and development for children and adults born very preterm.
The meeting focused on refining scientific priorities, establishing governance and communication structures, and strengthening collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and family advocates. It also marked the start of the Parent & Patient Advisory Board (PPAB), ensuring that family perspectives are integrated into every stage of the project.
