Support Office for Life Science & Health (SOLH)

We support Life science and Health research and development in northern Sweden. SOLH works for:

Development of ideas within Life Science, health, care, and welfare

Do you have an idea that you want to test or develop? Do you see a need in the organisation where you work? Are you a researcher and want to develop research results or ideas for the benefit of others? Are you looking for project partners or funding?

SOLH is a common entry point for support in Life Science, health, care, and welfare in Norrbotten and Västerbotten.

Increased resources for research and development in northern Sweden

Through collaboration, northern Sweden can secure more EU-funded projects with innovative outcomes that can support the healthcare sector in addressing major societal challenges.

SOLH makes northern Sweden more competitive in attracting increased resources for research and development in Life Science.

The EU research and development budget for the coming years is substantial. A large part of funds are earmarked for projects that involve the collaboration of partners from different parts of Europe. SOLH helps to enable international collaboration that can lead to EU-funded projects.

We assist with defining project ideas, building networks, finding collaboration partners, drafting agreements, providing tips on calls for proposals, and identifying ways to utilize the results.
