Innovation courses

The UiO Growth House runs courses that will increase innovation competence among employees: PhD candidates, postdocs, researchers & staff.

Illustration courses at three levels.

The Idea course is a foundation level course from the UiO Growth House, while the Idea to Innovation (I2I) course is at the step-up level.

Foundation level – IDEA course: 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!

Upcoming course:

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 employees.

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

Other courses

We also have other courses such as the School of Health Innovation and Aleap bootcamp and hackathons in the pipeline.?

All courses will be announced on this webpage.
