Why might four of MVA's colleagues be in Germany when MVA is a Danish-Swedish organization? By now you probably know that it is very important for us as cluster organization to support and facilitate cross-border life science collaborations in #MediconValley - and one of these, the #HALRIC project, involves not only Sweden and Denmark, but also Norway and Germany. So we are very actively involved in the project's second conference, which happens to take place in Hamburg today ✅
But there is more to it! This particular Scandinavian-German consortium also helps us think forward to the opening of the #FehmarnBelt fixed link. That new connection will bring the life science sector of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein much closer to Medicon Valley, the strongest life science cluster in the EU, enabling strong synergies. Therefore in this consortium we not only collaborate with research institutes, but also with regional governments and life science organizations - together developing future strengths of this combined region 💪

The show is on!🎉 After many months of preparing the HALRIC Conference we’re finally here in Hamburg - warming up with an Industry Workshop and later today kicking off the 2-day conference with a high level opening and panel session. I am really excited to see the program and presentations in action and to network with our growing HALRIC community. Together we build new cross-border collaborations for the benefit of life science innovation through the use of unique Research Infrastructures🚀
