Nordic Life Science Days in Malmö - Copenhagen 10 - 12 September

Nordic Life Science Days is the largest partnering conference in the Nordic region focusing on the life science industry. For the third year, the Centre for Digital Life Norway will be present at the conference, and we encourage our research projects to join us.

With more than 1300 delegates, the conference offers great networking opportunities through partner meetings, exciting speaker and panel sessions and a large exhibition area with representatives from all relevant sectors of life science, including academia, investors, relevant businesses and policy agencies.

Projects that wish to attend can apply for travel support of 5000 NOK for one person per project. We will also assist with producing promotional material for the project (one pagers).
 
Questions regarding the conference should be directed to Alexandra Patriksson.

We are accepting new partner projects to the Centre!

Spread the word to your colleagues who conduct research within transdisciplinary biotechnology and want to take part in our network and activities. Application deadline is May 16.

And the Winner Is......

Awarding of the Transdisciplinary Publication of the Year - 2018 was a close call. The Centre wish to acknowledge studies that result from the combined efforts of researchers from different disciplines. Two publications ended up having to share the prize for 2018: one from Double Intraperitoneal Artificial Pancreas (DIAP) and one from the dCod 1.0 project.

Call for Innovation Funding

All research projects that are part of the Centre for Digital Life Norway can now apply for financial support to work with the innovation aspects of the project. There is a maximum amount of 50.000 nok per project, up to 8 projects.
 
The funding is for activities necessary to progress in the innovation process, such as: business idea scouting and/or definition, market validation, customer exploration, business modelling, partner search, development of research-based advice to practitioners or policy-makers, etc. The funding can be used for hiring external expertise or for costs related to traveling to meet with potential customers, users, partners etc.
 
The call is open and applications can be sent any time as long as there are funding left.
 
Detailed information about the call and requirements for application is found on our web pages.
 

Call for Cross-Project Activities

Like last year, the Centre will grant support to collaborative activities between two or more research projects.

The possibility of harvesting synergies between projects and exchange of competence is one of the benefits of being part of DLN. Make sure you take advantage of it!  Deadline is running.
