Welcome to a renewed digitallifenorway.org

Overview projects
The centre has launched new webpages. The description of the 35 transdisciplinary biotechnology projects in the centre is the core of the website. Take a look at the projects.

It is important for us that the research projects are aware of how the centre coordinators can support them within research data management, cross-disciplinary and cross-projects activities, innovation, industry collaboration, responsible research and innovation (RRI) and career development. Read more about our services, including funding opportunities.

Note that we have two calls with application deadline 1 December: 
data management support and course proposals for the research school

If you want to join the centre with a new project, take a look at the call Collaborative Project to meet Societal and Industry-related Challenges from the Research Council of Norway.

A huge thank you to all who attended Digital Life 2020, in particular the speakers and the projects that contributed with videos. Watch videos of some of the talks and the projects

Commercialisation readiness assessment: Join next round

The centre has partnered with the health startup incubator Aleap to help projects in the centre bridge the knowledge gap between discovery and commercialisation. Two projects have gone through the project assessment pilot this year and have been helped in questions like "What is our product exactly?" and "What market challenges will we face?". They have also gained insight into product development requirements. Read about their experience and let us know before 10 December if you think your project is ready to attend the next round early 2021.

IPR in digital biotech: Give your input on planned webinars

We are planning an educational webinar series on intellectual property rights (IPR) in digital biotech. There are many challenges in tailoring an IPR strategy in a transdisciplinary field, and our aim is to give some advice on the matter. In order to give relevant insights, we are looking for one or two challenging real-life examples within the centre. If you are struggling with strategic decisions on IPR, e.g. choice of open data versus patents, combined protection of algorithms and medical device or finding a good IP strategy in precision medicine, and would like to work with us and our partner in this work, the Norwegian Industrial Property Office, please contact Beate Rygg Johnsen b.r.johnsen@medisin.uio.no.
Trygve Brautaset

Centre leader in public gene technology committee
