Upcoming European Commission

Health and Research priorities 2024-2029

Before the summer 2024, European citizens voted to elect members of the European Parliament (MEP) for a five-year mandate. In parallel to this new Parliament, a new Commission was formed after Mrs. Ursula Von der Leyen was elected. Each country nominated a candidate and the President of the European Commission assigned to each candidate in September 2024 a portfolio that will compose the college of commissioners.

Among the many issues that the European Commission has to deal with, Health and Research are the two portfolios of great interest to EFORT and the Orthopaedics and Traumatology (O&T) community.

Priorities in these fields are now set for the next 5 years in the mission letters sent to each Commissioner-candidate.

Many pressing issues affecting the O&T community in their daily practice do not seem to be reflected in these European Health and Research priorities. Of course the government of healthcare issues is devolved to European Member States, so only high level overarching issues are legislated in Brussels.

EFORT continues to partner with other medical specialty societies through the Biomedical Alliance to influence policy for the good of our community.

Find out what are the European Health and Research Priorities for the next five years and how EFORT operates at the European level.
