The visit was part of a broader study tour of Poland, designed to give students a firsthand look at healthcare systems beyond their own \u2014 and to understand how research institutions translate science into real-world solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-nbsp-journey-nbsp-through-nbsp-european-nbsp-healthcare-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">A&nbsp;journey&nbsp;through&nbsp;European&nbsp;healthcare&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Before arriving in Krak\u00f3w, the delegation explored several facets of the Polish healthcare system in Warsaw: they visited the National Health Fund (NFZ), the Warszawsko-Ochocki District and a Specialist Outpatient Clinic, as well as a Primary Healthcare Centre. Together, these stops painted a detailed picture of how Poland organises and delivers care to its citizens \u2014 a system that combines universal public coverage with a substantial role of the private sector, making it a particularly interesting case study for comparative analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-inside-sano-nbsp-where-nbsp-science-nbsp-meets-nbsp-impact-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Inside Sano:&nbsp;where&nbsp;science&nbsp;meets&nbsp;impact&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">At Sano, the guests stepped into a different dimension of healthcare \u2014 one built not on clinics and waiting rooms, but on algorithms, computational models, and the conviction that better medicine begins with better science. Katarzyna Baliga-Nicholson introduced the delegation to Sano&#8217;s structure and mission as a Teaming for Excellence centre \u2014 funded under the prestigious Horizon 2020 programme. The guests also had the opportunity to learn about the research teams and innovative solutions being developed at Sano, and to tour the Centre&#8217;s facilities \u2014 including the Virtual Reality lab &#8211; Medical Imaging and Robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A highlight of the visit was a presentation by Rosemary Blanco and Luca Gherardini, who shared their personal journeys through scientific entrepreneurship \u2014 showing how a laboratory idea can evolve into a real-world startup with the right mix of skills, support, and ecosystem connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-1ad1c2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_1-1024x778.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_1-1024x778.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_1-300x228.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_1-768x584.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_1-1536x1167.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_1-2048x1557.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISTAO-Delegation-Visits-Sano_2.jpg 1448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-nbsp-conversation-nbsp-worth-nbsp-continuing-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">A&nbsp;conversation&nbsp;worth&nbsp;continuing&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The ISTAO delegation proved to be exceptionally engaged guests, asking sharp questions and bringing fresh perspectives from the world of business education.
