The consortium agreement was signed on 03/09/2021 in the Termy Warmińskie during the conference entitled "Health Tourism - a real chance for Warmia and Mazury".
The establishment of a new organization is an element of preparations for the creation of a new intelligent specialization in the region called "Healthy Life". The newest specialization may be the foundation for the future development of the voivodeship towards i.a. creating a modern model for offering tourist and medical services based on European funds.
The consortium of 15 founding members is supposed to be a platform supporting regional cooperation between the sectors of science, research and development, industry, education, labor market, state services, and the organization of the socio-economic environment for the co-shaping and implementation of programs, plans and strategies at the regional, national and European levels.
