In order to enhance joint research activities including seminars and conferences the newly established Finnish-Indian Consortium is arranging a kick-off Symposium to launch its activities. The First Finnish-Indian Joint Symposium aims at creating further co-operation in the fields of Health, Drug Development and Diagnostics. Academics and researchers from India and Finland are welcome to join us in creating new opportunities for joint research and education activities. The seminar is based of presentations of participating researchers as well as on active discussions on future opportunities. The research groups are also welcome to present their posters during the Symposium.
