How can academic ideas become real solutions for patients? The Faculty of Medicine invites researchers, clinicians and partners to an engaging event on medical innovation. The goal is to bring people together, share experience and accelerate translation from research to practice.
Why you should attend
This event is designed for anyone who wants to see research make a real difference. You will:
- Learn how to move ideas from lab to clinic
- Meet potential collaborators across disciplines
- Gain insight into funding, regulation and industry partnerships
- Be inspired by real success stories
Whether you are early in your project or already working with innovation, the programme offers practical value.
From ideas to impact
Many strong research projects never reach patients. This event focuses on how to close that gap. Speakers will share concrete examples of how academic innovation can be developed, tested and implemented in healthcare.
You will also learn what barriers to expect—and how to overcome them.
Meet the innovation community
The event brings together key actors in Bergen, including researchers, clinicians, innovation support teams and external partners. This is a unique opportunity to expand your network and find people who can help move your ideas forward.
Active participation and dialogue are encouraged throughout the programme.
Take part in building the ecosystem
A strong innovation ecosystem depends on collaboration. By attending, you contribute to shaping how Bergen develops as a hub for medical innovation.
