The two EU Baltic Sea Strategy Policy Areas of Health and Education are organizing a workshop about how cross-sector cooperation in the Baltic Sea region can create innovative solutions to tackle the tasks and challenges we face together.

This event is a building block in the process of creating a collaboration platform in the Baltic Sea region that will facilitate connections between governments, healthcare and social service providers, private sector, academia and civil society. The process is a part of the project Economy of Well-being of People financed by the Swedish Institute.

The value base for the collaboration platform is drawn from the concept of the Economy of Well-being, which puts people’s well-being in focus for growth and development.

• Connect with a diverse group of like-minded professionals seeking innovative solutions to their challenges.
• Gain access to a collaboration platform for engagement at different levels, from receiving information to actively participating in policy and project development.
