The Interreg Baltic Sea Region project Science Link, Baltic TRAM’s predecessor, is nominated for the RegioStars Awards 2017 as one of Europe’s most inspiring and innovative regional projects. Science Link provides European enterprises, in particular SMEs, with better access to large scale, high-tech research infrastructures, such as Maxlab in Sweden or DESY in Germany. These research facilities carry out photon and neutron measurements and are up to now hardly accessible for industry. Enterprises, using the existing large-scale research infrastructure, can develop new, better products faster and thus enhance their innovation performance in various fields, such as environment and energy, agriculture and food, life science and biotechnology and chemicals. RegioStars Awards identify good practices in regional development and highlight original and innovative projects that are attractive and inspiring to other regions. The ceremony will take place on 10th October 2017 in Brussels as part of the European Week of Regions and Cities.
