Medical Innovation Day
See you in October 2020!

Medical Innovation Day is an annual event, which brings together students, researchers and business representatives to exchange ideas and think up solutions for the health challenges of the future.

In addition to inspiring talks and informal networking, the event is divided into two separate tracks. The Challenge Track introduces students from all participating faculties to real-life challenges from companies, while The Innovative Ideas Track introduces companies to fresh new ideas from the scientific community.

Two tracks - Challenges and Innovative Ideas

Students and company representatives are invited to participate in two independent tracks:

Challenge Track (1.5 ECTS)
PhD, Master and Bachelor students collaborate to come up with solutions to specific challenges presented by a participating company working within the health care sector in the broadest sense.

Innovative Ideas Track
Companies are presented with new findings and ideas from PhD students and senior researchers alike, in order to spark collaboration on further development, financing or marketing of specific ideas.

We welcome cases and ideas with any relation to health in the broadest sense.

New services aimed at patients and health care personnel

Or more indirectly related areas such as:

New methods of production, treatment or evaluation
Development of new policies
New ways of organizing treatments and analysis
New methods of collaboration
Alternative methods of financing
New uses of big data
