LifeSaver Technology Transfer Workshops
11th and 14th of June 2024 | Auditorium Corino de Andrade, i3S, Porto, Portugal
On June 11th and 14th, the European Commission's LifeSaver project consortium will host transformative workshops at the Institute for Research and Innovation in Health (i3S), aimed at advancing technology transfer to the market. These workshops offer valuable insights into regulations, policies, and expertise crucial for translating innovative research into practical applications. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of regulatory frameworks, refine commercialization strategies, learn effective engagement with investors, and bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. By deepening their understanding of clinical requirements and regulations, these sessions empower researchers to accelerate the translation of research and development into practical clinical solutions, ultimately benefiting patients and healthcare systems.
