The GREAT Network – Design Future Health


The Design Future Health (GREAT) project is a network of Nordic and Baltic Higher Educational Institutions coordinated by the University of Turku with partners – Universities of Oslo, South-Eastern Norway, Tartu, Åbo Akademi and Centre for Digital Life Norway. The network aims to introduce and use design thinking in the development of learning and learning environments to promote a new culture of innovative thinking and to apply it in health technology education. The network initiates a completely novel culture inspired by Stanford Design Thinking Model in creating own educational material and organizing own training courses as well as events in design thinking.
