Morethan a third of the population suffers from fractions at least once in a life time. Additionally, ageing society leads to an increase of age-related fractures. Baltic Sea countries are thus challenged to initiate innovations within fracture healing.

The Baltic Fracture Competence Centre (BFCC) project established the first transnational fracture registry. The registry collects and analyses patient data and treatment methods and processes across countries. The aim was to create a research and innovation platform for effective cooperation between clinics, companies and health organisations in the Baltic Sea region.

The 14 project partners from seven Baltic Sea countries were clinics, companies, research institutions and cluster organisations. BFCC is funded under the EU's Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme. A budget of around €3.6 million was available over a total period of 36 months.

DSN supported the application process and was then commissioned with project and financial management as well as project communication.
