On 17 February, the Life Science Growth House – the new innovation unit for life sciences at the University of Oslo – was officially opened. The Growth House will help researchers and students with the innovation process. See pictures from the opening where we gathered Oslo’s innovation ecosystem for life sciences.
Inven2, the innovation office of UiO and South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority, has contributed to the registration of hundreds of licenses and patents and to the establishment of a large number of companies. The new Life Science Growth House is a low-threshold service that will help even more research being put to use.
Students from medicine, pharmacy and chemistry have the opportunity to get summer jobs in companies through the internship scheme which is supported by the Life Science Growth House. A matchmaking event for companies and students is held 9 February.
EIT Health Scandinavia, part of one of the largest life science initiatives world-wide, is now expanding its network to include University of Oslo (UiO) as an associate partner.
