On 10th June 2022 in Riga, FORTHEM Steering Committee acknowledged the launching of the first joint office within the Alliance, which has been created as a result of actions in FIT FORTHEM WP6. The set-up and objectives of the Joint Research and Innovation Services and Policy Office are already agreed. The office will assist in research integration and liaising with policy-makers.
