    This November: A Roundtable for the Future of Polish Energy-Efficient Hospitals With Nordic Collaboration

    How can more energy-efficient hospitals in Poland be constructed and by what means?

    In November, we are thrilled to be part of organising a discussion focused on co-operation between Sweden and Poland to exchange knowledge, best practices, and technologies. The aim is to learn from each other and build a resilient healthcare sector.

    More information to come. Nordic participants can contact Johannes Brundin () and Polish participants Marcin Kautsch ().

    Date: 15 November 2022

    Time: 10.00–13.00 CET (with lunch)

    Location: Qubus Hotel Kraków (Krakow, Poland)

    Translation will be provided Polish-English.


    What is the context like?

    Political and environmental changes around the world are affecting daily life, with energy prices going through the roof. Impacts are reaching organisations as well as hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Keeping equipment running and maintaining heat in buildings are crucial factors for hospital functions – to ensure a safe patient environment and minimise environmental harm.

    Who should participate?

    Managers of hospitals, construction, energy, procurement, along with construction and refurbishment projects managers.

    Nordic participants: Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare (NCSH), the Swedish Energy Agency, financing institutions and companies with energy-related technologies.
