April MasterClass: Landspitali and University of Iceland

Creating Impact from Research: Auðna’s April MasterClass with Landspitali University Hospital and the University of Iceland

Last week we hosted another successful Auðna MasterClass in collaboration with EDIH Iceland, bringing together participants from the innovation program at Landspítali University Hospital and PhD students from the University of Iceland.

The MasterClass is designed as a crash course in scientific innovation and through a mix of expert talks, teamwork and mentoring, participants are guided through the key steps of moving from early-stage research towards real-world impact.

Agenda

We were fortunate to be joined by an outstanding group of speakers and mentors who shared their knowledge and real-world insights, including perspectives on patent strategy, investment readiness, and the journey from research to company creation.

A big thank you to María Ellingsen, Marisa Punzi from HØIBERG - European Patent Attorneys, Sverrir Geirdal, Einar Mäntylä, Guðjón Ólafsson from Gleipnir Bioforge, Hilmar Janusson from Iðunn Venture Fund and the Auðna TTO team.

We’d also like to thank all of our enthusiastic participants for their engagement and willingness to explore new perspectives.

It is always a pleasure to watch participants realise the real potential of their research as they move through the programme and we are already looking forward to our next MasterClass in May, where we will welcome participants from Reykjavík University.
