Hello everyone,

This year we have quite a few registered from academia, and would like more, as we have a competence track on one day and a research track on the other day, in addition, this is an excellent arena to gain an overview, insight and network in the technology and health field. This year we will also gain insight into what politicians will emphasize in the area going forward, as we end with a debate with first-time candidates from the Conservative Party, the Labor Party, the Center Party and the Liberal Party. Such guidelines may in turn influence the organization of calls for proposals for research funds, among other things.

I hope you can contribute to mobilization in your communities, so that the conference also becomes a meeting arena for the health ecosystem in health – there is a lot happening in this area in our city that academia should be involved in.
