The symposium «From Systems Medicine to Personalized Health» was organised by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences together with the ETH Board and took place on 31 March 2014 in Bern. International experts presented future-oriented projects from their own countries; these were then interpreted and categorised from the point of view of Swiss representatives from the areas of clinic and research. The symposium documents are available in English.
