DEVELOP

NEW EVENT:
Commercialising Health Data Forum

Interest by industry and other stakeholders in health and lifescience research data is growing. The sector is grappling to identify best practice. 

This Forum is an opportunity for those working to commercialise health and lifescience research data, either directly or through collaborations, to share and discuss the challenges. The forum will operate in an open workshop environment, encouraging participants to share real life experiences. The focus will be on academic healthcare research data (e.g. clinical trials, genomics, drug discovery & research data) rather than ‘real-world’ NHS patient treatment data and/or tangible materials (e.g. samples).

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: Opportunity for Funding to Support Researchers Planning Future Spin-Outs in the area of Healthy Ageing

The University of Oxford has been challenged by it's steering board to use these funds to help accelerate the formation of spin-out companies. They are therefore seeking to identify researchers who are considering spinning-out their research, but who could benefit from some additional research funding to accelerate the process.
