On 28 August 2025, experts from across Europe met in Tartu, Estonia, and online for the latest Code-Yaa@PC-Edu Hybrid Meeting, part of COST Action CA22127.
The gathering, hosted by the University of Tartu, focused on the big questions shaping palliative care education today:
- Why do we need a shared glossary of terms?
- What makes a strong quality indicator for palliative care education?
- How can we ensure these indicators work across different educational levels and cultural contexts?
Participants rolled up their sleeves for workshops, tested the project’s 36 quality indicators, and shared national perspectives on translation, ethics, and tool development. The conversations showed the real strength of this project: bringing together diverse voices to create something practical, inclusive, and evidence-based.
The day ended on a high note with the launch of the Influencer Award Call, which will celebrate outstanding contributions to raising awareness and innovating in palliative care education.
Despite the complexity of the topics, the atmosphere was anything but dry; there was energy, collaboration, and a clear sense of shared purpose. The Tartu meeting proved that while the challenges are significant, the enthusiasm to move forward together is even bigger.
Next up: in-country workshops, further toolkit development, and continued collaboration across Europe.
Stay tuned: the journey is only getting more exciting
