HEALTH CAMPUS DC LIMBURG (BELGIUM) Health Campus Limburg DC is in the process of establishing an Open Innovation Center for Healthcare within their forthcoming main building, scheduled for inauguration by the end of 2026. This center will serve as a distinctive collaborative space for academic research, businesses, and the healthcare sector to collectively address prominent societal challenges, including the implications of ageing populations, the increasing demand for long-term and complex care, and workforce shortages. At the core of the innovation center lies the THINK3 Center for System and Process Innovation in Healthcare at Hasselt University. In addition, the campus will provide office space for healthcare network organizations, enabling their deeper involvement in pioneering projects and research endeavors. The proximity of BioVille, the health and care business incubator, further fortifies the campus's ties with the industry, facilitating synergistic partnerships among academia, businesses, and healthcare providers. Furthermore, the 40-meter-high main building will house an auditorium, meeting rooms, and a bar on the uppermost floors, fostering a unique environment for facilitating collaboration and connection among stakeholders. This development forms an integral part of the master plan for the Limburg Diepenbeek Campus, with the Health Campus serving as a pivotal component. The master plan has been meticulously crafted by the Regional Development Agency of Belgian Limburg (POM Limburg), garnering support from the Belgian Province of Limburg, the "Limburg Sterk Merk" Foundation, and the European Regional Development Fund. #scienceparks #innovation #areasofinnovation #heath Roeland Buckinx Paul Jansen Jacques van Dinteren

𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 – 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 🌎 🇩🇰 Healthcare systems everywhere face similar challenges. Most pressing is the rising demand for care amid a growing shortage of healthcare workers.  🧠 We believe that collaboration and knowledge sharing are our best bet for devising effective solutions that meet this demand without sacrificing outcomes. Health Innovation Aarhus aims to facilitate these crucial processes by assembling a local ecosystem of healthcare professionals who are dedicated to sustainable healthcare innovation – it’s where global meets local. 🚀 Spearheaded by local public institutions and private companies, HIA is committed to attracting and retaining clinicians, researchers and employees with the competencies to bring to fruition the visionary ideas of central Denmark’s ambitious healthcare businesses and start-ups. 🇪🇺 AUH leaders Thomas Balle Kristensen and Diana Riknagel have joined HIA’s steering committee, further supporting our work with the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) to future-proof healthcare systems within Europe.

Call-for-Papers We are pleased to announce a call-for-papers for the newly launched #health #Network of the THE SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMICS (SASE) to be held from 27th to 29th June 2024 in #Limerick, #Ireland. We invite #scholars from all academic levels and disciplines to contribute their research. The submission deadline for paper abstracts is Friday, 19th January 2024. The T: Health network is dedicated to the #socialscientific study of health in its broadest sense, and after four successful years as an annual SASE mini-conference “health and medicines” we have been selected as a permanent SASE network “T: Health” launching in 2024 at the SASE annual conference in Limerick. Our focus encompasses four primary areas: the integration of health within wider #economic, #political, and #socialjustice frameworks; issues of health #equality and #equity; the organization and structuring of #healthsystems; and the #pricing and #valuation of health. We aim to cultivate a diverse, #interdisciplinary community, encouraging #crossnational comparisons and #global perspectives on a range of health-related topics. These include, but are not limited to, studies on #drugs, #medicines, #healthcare services, community and #publichealth initiatives, and #healthpolicy. We welcome submissions on these themes and encourage participants to propose papers on other related issues. This conference represents a unique opportunity to contribute to an emerging field, connect with peers, and explore new dimensions in the study of health. Join us in shaping a comprehensive and inclusive discourse on #globalhealth challenges and solutions.

Delighted to be presenting as part of a very exciting programme of speakers at Healthy City Design International Congress 2024! I’ll be sharing my work on “Compassionate Places” – a new transdisciplinary model for a healthy, human-connected design and placemaking. This aims to reframe how places are seen and shaped - by responding to our human needs, human experience and prioritising the quality of places. Ie How our surroundings impact people's lives. By drawing from different disciplines and areas, like neuroscience, environmental psychology, sociology and public health, the approach and method aims to embed knowledge and research on how places affect people into spatial design. And generally change how places are being made, so they can better support people and communities to flourish and thrive. #HealthyCities #HolisticApproaches #CompassionatePlaces #PlaceQuality #ConsciousDesign #MentalHealth #NeuroArchitecture #Togetherness #Inclusivity #Equity #SpatialJustice #Innovation #Collaboration #DesignforChange #Planning #Placemaking
