Ri.MED Foundation organizes every year a Scientific Symposium, centered on subjects in the 8 research fields of interest, in which Ri.MED researchers and keynote speakers show their scientific results. Each edition of the event raises attention from the scientific community and from the press.
The 6th edition of the annual scientific Ri.MED Symposium “Comparative Effectiveness Research & Precision Medicine” took place on October 29, 2012 in Palermo, Banca Nuova.
