These are the plugs used in Spain: - Type C (European 2-pin), CEE 7/16 (Europlug 2.5 A/250 V unearthed) - Type F (German 2-pin, side clip earth), CEE 7/4 (German "Schuko" 16 A/250 V earthed) Be sure that you have the right plugs and/or adapters before travelling.

"Roadmapping Personalised Health System: Scenarios and Research Themes for Framework Programme 7th and beyond (PHS2020) aims at producing a policy oriented RTD roadmap for ICT supported Personal Health Systems. PHS2020 will analyse the state of play of existing technologies and applications and elaborate scenarios on possible new emerging ones, taking into account broad societal trends, users demands, business aspects, ethical and legal considerations. As a result PHS2020 is expected to identify and characterize the key research challenges to be addressed during FP7 and beyond in order to deliver the promises of ICT supported Personalised Health Systems. In addition it will provide an action oriented implementation plan describing the timing and instruments to be deployed to support the identified most important future research themes. PHS2020 aims to serve as an instrument supporting Portfolio Management and Planning of EC financing of R&D in the field of ICT supported Personal Health Systems, as well as for EU Member States. This first workshop is aimed at illustrating, and gathering inputs on, the State-of-Play study conducted in the first months of the project, as a combination of multi-disciplinary meta-analysis of existing literature and databases, and of discussions with key experts, members of the project’s Experts Support Committee" The URL of the project website is: www.phs2020.com It is still under construction, but it will be available online in the next few weeks.
