Many thanks for joining us at the first international seminar on Public Health Research in Palliative Care in Brussels, organized by the EAPC RN and EAPC Reference Group on Public Health and Palliative Care. It was a pleasure to see and hear about all the interesting research focused on public health. We hope you found the ideas and discussions stimulating as well.
