Thursday 22 November 13.00 – 14.30
Dear all, In 2007, the first ScanBalt Biomaterials Days were held in Turku. Since then, the Days have been organized as separate sessions within the annual ScanBalt Forum and the venue has been circulated within the ScanBalt countries. This year the organisation committee welcomes you to Tampere, Finland to participate in the ScanBalt Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Days 2012. The aim of the Days is to strengthen the cooperation in the field of Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Biomedical Technology research among the ScanBalt countries. In order to enhance the networking both from the academic and industrial point of view, the knowledge in the different regions are reported and discussed. The focus of this conference is on academic research and possible industrial applications in the future.

Baltic Amber Workshop: Diagnostics and Innovations in MRO Management Wednesday 21 November, 13.00 – 14.30 (Room: Opus 4) Multi-resistant bacteria do not stop at country borders. In fact, they pose an increasing threat to health care systems around the world. Against this background the project „Baltic Alliance against Multi-Resistant Bacteria - Baltic Amber“ aims at combatting multi-resistant organisms (MRO) with the help of transnational cooperation. Initial point for Baltic Amber is the regional German project “HICARE – Health Region Baltic Sea Coast”, that was launched January 2011 in order to establish a model region showing how an alliance can be formed and implemented against the ever growing problem of multi-resistant organisms (MRO). The continuous spread of MRO and the increasing number of antibiotic resistant strains call for a differentiated approach to MRO management. With our workshop “Diagnostics and Innovations in MRO Management” we want to widen the scope by looking at developments and potential in diagnostics and implant medicine. We want to examine best practice examples from various countries and institutions. Besides comprehensive issues like choice of antibiotics for this field of application, choice of diagnostics tools, patient preparation, specific risk factors, we want to discuss specific issues such as the potentials of antibiotic coatings for implants (e.g. orthopedic and cardiological) and the demands and requirements for fast diagnostics. Workshop goal will be to spur trans-national cooperation by a memorandum of understanding. The workshop plans lay the grounds for concrete projects and work groups. •

HealthPort Regional Hearing Finland “How to foster healthcare innovations in Finland” Thursday 22 November, 13.00 – 14.30 (Room: Studio) Innovation is a key driver for value improvement in any industry and especially in the health care. The long term innovation policy in Finland has been very successful till now and it has resulted in strong national competitiveness. However the today’s challenges such as aging population, the increase of chronic diseases and the constantly growing public expenses for healthcare request better utilization of innovations in the field. Finland has well developed healthcare infrastructure, scientific and technological knowhow and number of life science research personnel. By using these resources more efficiently Finland can boost its innovation environment and launch a system which can move forward concrete ideas from people working in the healthcare into the market. As the main health care providers hospitals could take the leading role in fostering innovations. We would like to invite you discuss and share with us your knowledge and expertise in the field. Best practices of clinical innovations and commercialization process from Denmark and Sweden will be presented to stimulate the discussion.
Main topic: How to transfer clinical ideas into products and services. Programme: 13.00 Welcome Tero Piispanen, Program Director, HealthBIO Center of Expertise 13.05 Best practice cases examples Kjeld Lisby, Innovation Manager, Idea Klinik, Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark 13.40 Round table discussions Facilitated by the moderator Tero Piispanen 14.30 End of the event The seminar is organized by Culminatum Innovation Oy Ltd and Turku Science Park Oy as part of the BSHR HealthPort project, co-financed by the Baltic Sea Region Programme 2007-2013.
