Theme: The use of computer modeling and simulation (CM&S) in all aspects of life sciences has made substantial progress over the last couple of years. Examples of in silico medicine approaches that have made their way to the patient range from advanced diagnostic tools over clinical decision support systems to implication of CM&S in every step of the R&D process of pharmaceutical and medical device therapies. Many activities are currently ongoing to ensure that the road from the computer to the patient is clear for all stakeholders, from academia and industry to regulators and policy makers. In this round table, many of these stakeholders are represented. All speakers will shortly present their take on what is needed to bring the digital twin to life. What are their ongoing actions and activities that will contribute to this goal? What do they need to continue? Are all partners on board? After these introductory presentations, the floor is opened to an interactive Q&A, moderated by a professional science journalist.
