Mid Sweden University warmly invites researchers from institutions within ChallengeEU to participate in the first Matchmaking Research Workshop. This online workshop marks the starting point for building new collaborative ties across the ChallengeEU alliance. Although ChallengeEU primarily provides funding for educational activities, the event also offers an opportunity to explore potential research collaborations, joint project ideas, and future mobility or exchange initiatives. The workshop will begin with an introduction to its aims: bringing together researchers from different universities, identifying common interests, and initiating partnerships that may lead to research proposals, comparative studies, and both short- and long-term cooperation. Following the introduction, participants will join four thematic breakout groups to discuss strengths, challenges, and possibilities for joint activities. The themes will be introduced and moderated by researchers from Mid Sweden University. Descriptions of the four thematic sessions included in this first workshop can be found below. We hope that this event will be the first in a series of workshops and that it will inspire other institutions within the alliance to organise additional matchmaking events, further strengthening collaboration across ChallengeEU. Theme 1: IoT, AI, and Electrification Theme 2: Metal Additive Manufacturing – From Materials and Processes to Industrial Use Theme 3: Anxiety, Depression, Stress and Trauma Theme 4: Digital Health, Health Economic Evaluations & Policy Advocacy Registration for the event: ChallengeEU@miun.se Photo: Freepik.com
