On March 10, 2026, the partners of the European project VR Health Champions, coordinated by Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN), met in Budapest to assess the progress achieved and align the next steps of the initiative, in a meeting hosted at the facilities of InnoStars.
This mid-term review meeting brought together consortium partners, SMEs, and other stakeholders to review the work carried out so far and plan the activities for the coming months. The meeting also provided an opportunity to take stock of the project’s different work streams, including the development of XR (Extended Reality)-based solutions for the healthcare sector and the exploration of the potential of immersive technologies in the training of healthcare professionals.
