School of Health Innovation
The School of Health Innovation is the first and only Nordic initiative to offer courses in innovation as a postgraduate program for the academic disciplines in the health and life sciences. The target group is researchers and clinicians at all levels – from PhDs to professors. The vision is to help researchers to become more entrepreneurial, strengthen the Nordic networks and enable knowledge sharing between different sectors, experts and the Nordic regions. Our courses cover the entire entrepreneurial span from how to create business plans, develop prototypes and prepare pitches as well as financial aspects such as how to get funding, financial value, risk assessment and much more.
The School is a collaboration between the University of Copenhagen, University of Oslo, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the Karolinska Institutet. The SHI is financially supported by a generous grant from The Novo Nordisk Foundation from 2020-2024.
