Welcome to an afternoon that highlights environments for co-development within health and life science and possible interregional funding for collaboration in the Northern periphery and Arctic region.
During this event we will present some of the established development labs and environments in the north of Sweden and Finland. These are important infrastructures for innovation and health system resilience. How can we in collaboration strengthen their capacity? We will highlight the possibilities with interregional funding programmes and discuss needs as the basis for project ideas. There are many ways for stakeholders to participate, and you are welcome to contribute. The Support office for Life science and Health will host the event and also assist in the further process.
When: May 24th 13:00 CET – 16:00 CET
The event will be held in English.
Researchers, health- and social care professionals, representatives for companies, clusters and patient groups, technical and behavioural experts etc. We especially invite stakeholders from the Interreg program area of Aurora and the Northern Periphery and Arctic (Greenland, Island, North of Sweden, Finland, and Norway as well as Ireland)
