Note that we have changed our name to UiO Growth House. Articles written before 2023 use the old name Life Science Growth House.
The Life Science Growth House aims to strengthen the culture of innovation at the University of Oslo. A good way to work with innovation culture is to ensure that students, who are the researchers of the future both inside and outside academia and who will hold other positions in the innovation ecosystem around us, get the opportunity to engage in innovation.
New project on the initiative of the students
On the initiative of the students in the Student association for pharmaceutical innovation at the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Oslo, the Growth House with innovation adviser Nicolay Bérard-Andersen, has put in place an agreement with ShareLab in Oslo Science Park to let students work on innovative projects and learn new methods and, as such, get the skills that are requested by industry.
Wants more collaboration with the innovation ecosystem in Oslo Science Park
The collaboration with the Student association for pharmaceutical innovation and ShareLab is the first step on the way to involving the entire innovation ecosystem in Oslo Science Park in the work of the Growth House. The Growth House wants to establish similar collaborations with, among others, StartupLab and Aleap and is already working closely with the business clusters Norway Health Tech and The Life Science Cluster in Oslo Science Park.
