Baltic Health Index

FIRST WORKSHOP HELD. In a joint initiative with the Ocean Health Index (OHI), BEAM, together with the Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre and the Stockholm Resilience Centre, arranged a 2-day workshop about developing a regional Baltic Index (BHI). The aim was to start discussing the possibilities of a BHI with relevant experts. The OHI was also presented during a Baltic Bar 14th May.

Final evaluation of BEAM is now under way!

BEAM has submitted an up-dated list of publications 2010-2013 and a self-evaluation, and the Vice Chancellor will soon answer the questions posed to the University leaderships. The self-evaluation focusses on research output, strategic values for society and business, collaborations and research and education integration. A short final hearing will be held in Stockholm on December 3 this year. A positive evaluation means that the BEAM funds will continue to support Baltic Sea Research at Stockholm University also after 2015.

SAVE THE DATES:
