In May 2022, members of the “Innovative Cluster Simulation Models in Medicine” visited Athens, Greece and took part in the 9th Biennial Congress of the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons (9th Biennial Congress of the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons 26- 28 May 2022 Athens Greece (eses2022.org))

Prof. Dr. Rumen Pandev, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Desislava Ivanova and Maria Silyanovska, members of the expert council of the cluster “Innovative cluster simulation models in medicine” took part in the congress. Prof. Pandev delivered a report within the congress. His presentation was met with great interest by the audience and the European community of endocrine surgeons and provoked a discussion related to the diagnosis and operative and postoperative management of the patient with thyroid gland cancer.

Within the framework of the congress, Prof. Dr. Desislava Ivanova and Maria Siljanovska held a conversation with Prof. Dr. Thomas Musholt, one of the leading experts from the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. Possibilities were discussed at the meeting to include Prof. Dr. Musholt in the expert council of the cluster and in the consilium of experts of the proactive system for the unwinding of thyroid abnormalities. Opportunities to collect patient data and enrich datasets for training the EU-TIRADS thyroid anormality classifier were also discussed. Prof. Dr. Musholt is one of the initiator for creation the  EUROCRINE registry and showed great interest in the current developments of the cluster at the meeting. Possibilities for joint participation in future projects related to the use of artificial intelligence and modern IT in support of precision medicine for the detection of abnormalities, early diagnosis and personalized treatment of patients with thyroid gland abnormalities were also discussed.

The participation of the cluster members in the 9th Biennial Congress of the European Society of Endocrine Surgeons was extremely useful and opened new horizons for future collaboration and joint projects with established capacities and specialists in the field of thyroid diagnosis and treatment worldwide.

In May 2022, members of the Innovation Cluster Simulation Models in Medicine visited Rome, Italy and held meetings with representatives of the academic staff of Sapienza University of Rome.

The members of the cluster held a meeting with Prof. Gorla and Prof. Maria de Marsico from the Faculty of Computer Science of Sapienza University of Rome, where the possibilities for collaboration and joint work within the framework of the Erasmus+ program between the cluster teams were discussed and the academic staff of the Faculty of Computer Science. Opportunities for joint scientific developments in the field of biometric data and image processing and pattern recognition for the field of precision medicine were discussed between the representatives of the two organizations.

The meetings held in Rome were extremely useful for the future initiatives and activities of the cluster related to international cooperation and participation in joint European project proposals including international level expertise in the field of IT in support of medicine.

In May 2022, members of the Innovation Cluster Simulation Models in Medicine attended the ANGA COM Exhibition and the ANGA COM Conference in Cologne, Germany. More than 170 lecturers, top specialists in the field, participated in the conference. Bach touched on topics of interest for the cluster activity and the innovation product developed by the scientific team such as full speed for network expansion, digitalization summit – networks, services, connectivity, how to create a digital boost, new concepts for the perfect mix, what is the new with Fiber, DOCSIS and 5G etc. Meetings were held with many companies, Inverto, Sat-Kabel – Teknoline, Teknik Sat, Devolo, YITong technology, Axing, Sedea, Manata, etc. The meetings were fruitful and a good basis for future partnerships was achieved.

By visiting ANGA COM, members got acquainted with the latest developments in the field of Internet of Things, telecommunication systems, video conferencing, server-to-user communications.
