EIT Health seeks Director Scandinavia.

EIT Health was designated as an EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) by the EIT Governing Board on 09 December 2014. It brings together more than 140 outstanding partner organizations from industry, higher education, research, public society, and healthcare in Europe across 14 EU countries.

The goal of EIT Health is to contribute to increasing the competitiveness of European industry, improve the quality of life of Europe's citizens and the sustainability of healthcare system.

Furthermore, EIT Health includes 6 "InnoStars" regions in Wales, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia.

EIT Health is now in the process of establishing its infrastructure and resources both at the European and CLC levels. Its annual budget will grow over years to reach more than 100 M?.
