The kick – off meeting for the Interreg lllB co-financed project ScanBalt Campus will take place on Tuesday 14th June 2005 starting 10.00 at Lund University, Sweden.

ScanBalt Campus (SBC) will create a cross-sectoral network of education and R&D between universities, companies, hospitals/university hospitals and other actors – all sharing life sciences/biotechnology as a common base – in ScanBalt BioRegion. The SBC will improve regional coordination and mobility, increase cross-disciplinarity, increase collaboration between sectors and create critical mass.

The coordinator of the project is the Centre for Environment and Sustainablity, a co-operation between Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborg University, read more athttp://www.miljo.chalmers.se/english/index.htm
