R & D up NorthR & D Welfare Conference September 8-9

Welcome to R & D Welfare Conference 2016 in Norrköping

R & D Centre and PUFF stages this conference in cooperation with the Nordic Welfare centre and Linköping University.

The theme of this year’s conference is working with research and development in the Nordic countries – “R & D up North”.

Interaction both locally and international is characteristic of R & D work. Internationalization is something that has been discussed over the years. Enhanced, Nordic cooperation is a part of this and frequently discussed as a way to meet future challenges in the field of welfare. This provides opportunity for R & D to play an important role!

We look forward to interesting meetings and lively discussions!
