The work at Health is structured around the four core activities; research, education, talent development and knowledge exchange.

Friday 9 September at 9:00 – 11:00 is reserved for a workshop within the area of education under the headline “Opening the education towards its surroundings”.
Background information

Programme
For each of the two workshops, one member of the Advisory Board has been invited to give a brief presentation of his or her perspective and/or experience regarding the chosen topic for the workshop.
The workshops will be organised so that this opening presentation will be followed by discussions of the topics, both in groups and in plenary. The workshops will end with the participants being asked to put forward specific proposals for future actions at Health.
The session moderators will be the vice-dean(s) responsible for the workshop. Participants will be the Advisory Board members and the department heads.
The workshops will end with the vice-dean(s) summing up the main points from the discussion.
