A first intensive exchange with stakeholders took place as part of the INGVER sub-project CONNECT on Friday, 20 June 2025, in Papenburg. Researchers from the University Medical Centre Oldenburg exchanged views during a world café with regional representatives from the healthcare sector on particular challenges in the healthcare of vulnerable patient groups and shared experiences and ideas for improving care in the German-Dutch border region. The project ‘Intersectoral health care in our border region’ was made possible by the Interreg programme Germany-Nederland and its programme partners and co-financed by the European Union.
