Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The aim was to bring together business, the public sector, civil society and academia to strengthen the exchange around cooperation. An important ambition was to spread knowledge and create an exchange of experience. The conference attracted 283 participants, 60% from academia and 40% from other parts of society. According to survey responses, they appreciated the opportunities to make contacts as well as the knowledge they took home about successful collaboration models and tools. Therefore, aim and objective have been fulfilled.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** An effect of the conference was that it gave inspiration to the participants (participant survey) and opportunity for meetings, which in turn can lead to more collaborative efforts. With the HSS conferences being arranged every two years, there are good opportunities for ideas raised to be carried forward. Regarding new contacts made, there is a great deal of personal responsibility in keeping these contacts alive. A further effect is that the participants experienced an increase in their knowledge of various collaboration models and useful tools.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** A majority of participants perceived the conference to be professional and inclusive. Program content for parallel and joint sessions was perceived as interesting by the majority. The opportunity to attend the Thursday evening banquet was also much appreciated. However, there were some opportunities for improvement: the panelists represented gender equality but not ethnic breadth, which would have been good. Too few people from business and the non-profit sector participated. Therfore you need to further sharpen the content.
