Now is the time to get involved and take advantage of the four largest assets for life science research and innovation of our region: MAX IV, ESS, DESY and European XFEL!

Welcome to Medicon Valley Alliance R&D Network and our 4th meeting!

Are you from the Biotech, Medtech, or Pharma industry or academia and are interested in learning how to make use of the largest assets we have in our region for life science innovation and research? Are you a regional development actor and representative from the health care system and wish to discuss how we can face the global challenges of improving health and healthcare solutions?

Medicon Valley Alliance (MVA), together with Hanseatic League of Science (HALOS), invites you to participate in MVA R&D network meeting on the 21st of November. Join the meeting and take the chance to learn more about how your organization can benefit from the large facilities! In addition to presentations from companies, facilities, academia, and funding stakeholders, the meeting will include a discussion forum and a networking session with posters from HALOS partner organizations.

HALOS
HALOS is a newly started Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerack (ÖKS) interreg EU funded project with stakeholders from academia, regional development actors, research facilities and industry. HALOS will build a unique collaboration between Hamburg and South-West Scandinavia, bring together the four unique research facilities MAX IV, ESS, DESY and European XFEL, and create a centre for integrated, world-leading Life Science innovation and research.

The network
MVA R&D Network is a professional and social network for C-level R&D executives (CSOs, CMOs, VPs), university professors and PIs, and top-level managers in the hospital sector. The network focuses on best practice and current challenges for industry-academia collaboration and the commercialization of R&D in the Medicon Valley region.
