Involvement in the project:

Tampere University of Applied Sciences coordinates WP2- Conceptualisation- due to its expertise in the field. In WP2, TAMK coordinates the identification and analysis of relevant practises as well as establishes recommendations for the WP3. In addition, TAMK itself provides good examples in the scope of S2-PORT because its experts work closely with end users (senior persons and professionals taking care of their health). TAMK also participates actively in WP4 where it validates the methodology in its region and in WP 5 where it is in charge of dissemination of the project results on regional and national level.
