Meet the jury seminar: An enhance life for people living with SCI: Needs to be met, research priorities and knowledge gaps identified in the Swedish need assessment project.

We kindly invite you to join the ‘Meet the Jury’ seminar, featuring an international speaker to discuss their research on 'An enhance life for people living with SCI: Needs to be met, research priorities
and knowledge gaps identified in the Swedish need assessment project.'

This seminar will be given by:

• Prof. Johanna Wangdell

During this session, Prof. Wangdell will present and discuss the results of the Swedish needs assessment project, with particular attention to identified research priorities and existing knowledge gaps in spinal cord injury (SCI) research. The aim of the needs assessment was to identify and prioritise uncertainties, needs, and issues that are important to individuals living with SCI in Sweden, as expressed by individuals with SCI themselves, their relatives, and professionals in the field. The presentation will be followed by a discussion on the implications of these findings for the Belgian and Dutch contexts of SCI rehabilitation.

This is a Meet the Jury seminar. Additional information on how to apply for these seminars can be found here.
