Innovation courses

The UiO Growth House is developing courses that will increase innovation competence and capacity among researchers, including PhD candidates and postdocs, and other staff. In the fall 2025, we are introducing two new courses:

Illustration researchers with ideas and courses at two levels.

16 October: Foundation level – IDEA

How to identify a good innovation idea from your research data

Have you ever wondered if there is an idea for an innovation project or even a start-up buried in your piles of research data? Or, how to know if that idea is any good? Then this interactive and reflective workshop is for you!

11–13 November: Step-up level – Idea to Innovation (I2I)

How to turn your idea into a successful innovation project

This hands-on workshop introduces you to the tools you need to develop an academic research project into a successful innovation project. We’ll also cover funding opportunities and innovation grant writing as a potential next step for developing your project further.

Free for UiO researchers (including PhD candidates and postdocs) and other staff.

Please contact training@growthhouse.uio.no, if you are interested in the course but outside the UiO system.
