1972-2022 EUMASS 50th ANNIVERSARY
In recent years, the sphere of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has catapulted to the forefront of innovation, presenting a myriad of opportunities and equally significant challenges.
On the 6th of March 2024, we will be looking at the opportunities that AI offers in the social security landscape at our conference “ Shaping Tomorrow: AI in Social Security and Work Capacity Assessment” thanks to the rich legacy and expertise of the European Union of Medicine in Assurance and Social Security (EUMASS).
With the support of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, through this conference, EUMASS aims to foster discussions that envision AI as a transformative tool in the health sector, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of work capacity assessments and promoting a healthier, more inclusive labour market.

In 2022, EUMASS celebrates its 50th anniversary in a festive way, followed by a jubilee congress in 2023 in Strasbourg.

The idea of EUMASS was born and met with an enthusiastic response from doctors specialising in social insurance. In 1972, a dozen or so colleagues from the six countries set up the first UEMASS Council in Leuven (BE).

A word of our President:
In Europe, about 500 million people are covered by social insurance schemes for health care, disability or incapacity that are financed or agreed by society as collective social security. Decisions on entitlement to social benefits are usually based on medical assessments which, in turn, must be based on scientific knowledge, insurance medicine expertise and an inclusive society where social security and social protection enable every citizen to take part in social life in its various forms, to be an actor in his or her own personal development, and to participate in that of his or her relatives and society as a whole, irrespective of any limitations in all areas of private, public or professional life[i] . EUMASS is therefore a European federation of national associations or organisations of doctors involved in insurance and social security medicine in their country. … READ MORE
