HEAL recently highlighted the importance of continued EU action to reduce pollution in a panel discussion at the Brain Innovation Days.

HEAL together with the other Green 10 organisations has sent a letter to Commission President Von der Leyen as well as on greening state aid as part of the European Commission’s Green Recovery Strategy.
