Aims of the Projects

Participants of the project will gain a new experience of international cooperation and collaboration between researchers and universities of different European countries in light of topical legal issues related to Medical / Health law. The project will increase the capacity of representatives of medical institutions and the capacity of students, researchers, and academic environment representatives involved in the project itself (information, exchange of experience). Germany has the lead position in the Medical law field among the EU countries. Therefore, especially during the pandemic Medical law becomes a crucial issue. From this perspective, scientific support and cooperation projects are welcomed for the countries of the Baltic States.
