What is Momentum?
The story behind Momentum began when a group of medical students from the Student Association for Medical Innovation (SMI) recognized the limitations of traditional medical career pathways. They saw how their comprehensive medical education had relevance far beyond conventional clinical roles that could add value in innovative, interdisciplinary, and high-impact environments.
Internships emerged as a natural gateway to explore these opportunities. Rather than waiting for existing structures to change, the students chose to take initiative themselves. By partnering with The Growth House, SMI transformed their vision into reality and launched the internship program in 2021.?
Momentum ?is now a part of UiO's student innovation hub (iHub) at Oslo Science Park, and a collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Mathematics & Natural Sciences. The collaboration is run through student engagement in SMI, the Student Association of Pharmaceutical Innovation (SFI) and the student association Pitch from the master program Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management at the Department of Informatics.

Participating Companies 2026
The following companies are offering internships through Momentum in 2026.

The internship
Project 1. Medical content development to improve diagnosis and treatment in dermatology?
Project 1. Background: Novartis develops innovative medicines in immunology, including treatments for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). CSU, also called hives or chronic idiopathic urticaria, is a skin disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of rash and itching, in which wheals (swelling) occur spontaneously without a known triggering cause and persist for at least 6 weeks. The condition is not allergic but is caused by an overactive immune response. The disease is very serious for patients because it has a substantial impact on quality of life, affecting sleep, work capacity, and psychosocial well?being. Patient treatment follows a stepwise approach: first antihistamines and then biologic medicines. Task: In this assignment you will work as a medical content producer creating informational and educational materials related to a new innovative medicine for patients with CSU. You will develop materials aimed at healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers. This may include content for our healthcare professional website in the form of clinical articles in the disease area, such as medical overviews, summaries of clinical studies, mechanisms of action, and treatment options. In addition, please prepare clinically oriented material for dermatologists and develop an online course for general practitioners on the management of CSU.

Project 2. Elevated Lp(a) Among Patients with Heart Infarction
Project 2. Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an LDL-like lipoprotein and an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). About 20% of the population have elevated Lp(a) levels, often without being aware of it. Elevated Lp(a) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. There are currently no approved therapies that specifically lower Lp(a); present treatment focuses on optimizing other risk factors. New guidelines recommend systematic assessment of Lp(a) in patients at risk.
Task: We are looking for 1–2 summer students who can help with projects related to Lp(a). The projects may be carried out in collaboration with Oslo University Hospital (OUS), the University of Oslo (UiO), or Oslo Economics. The assignment is flexible and can take several possible directions, for example: Prevalence and characteristics: How many patients at the cardiac infarction outpatient clinic have elevated Lp(a), and what clinical features do they have? Health economic analyses: Do patients with elevated Lp(a) have higher healthcare resource use than patients with normal Lp(a) values? Data analysis: Relevant analyses in a large dataset with Lp(a) measurements.
?
Project?3. Shape future patient access to innovative medicines
Project 3. Background: Novartis develops innovative medicines in cardiology, including treatments that target elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels. High Lp(a) is a genetic risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Current standard therapies have limited or no effect on Lp(a). About 20% of the population have elevated Lp(a) values, and Norway is among the countries with the highest testing frequency globally.
Task: As a summer student in our team you will play a central role in performing analyses that may influence how patients gain access to a new treatment option. Suggested relevant tasks (the list is not exhaustive and can be adapted or further developed in dialogue with the student): Map current reimbursement (Blue Prescription) regulations and previous decisions, and develop an argumentation framework with clear messaging and documentation needs for the HTA (health technology assessment) process. Investigate how alternative pricing models could ensure rapid and sustainable access for large patient populations, despite challenges related to the authorization threshold (100 million NOK). Analyze the consequences of different pricing models and prepare proposals inspired by solutions used in neighboring countries. Conduct external interviews with relevant stakeholders (e.g., LMI, DMP, clinical communities) to collect insights. Team the student will join: Market Access Department The Norwegian Value & Access team consists of seven specialists. We work across the entire medicines value chain — from early pipeline strategy and methodological assessments to procurement models, tender strategies, and system development. Our work involves close collaboration with authorities, clinicians, and internal teams to develop robust decision-making bases and contribute to sustainable healthcare services.
At Novartis Norway, we have employees with broad expertise in areas such as medicine, health economics, finance, law, marketing, regulatory affairs, public affairs, and communications. Our offices are located in pleasant surroundings at Nydalsveien 28 in Oslo.
We hope you are curious about all the projects we have this year.

?
Funding Model project: Do changes in the funding model for medical treatment affect people’s lives? Yes - they influence treatment choices. We’re curious how. Financing of hospital treatment is an important steering tool. Often it is so complex that it can be hard to see the practical consequences — even for those closest to the patients, namely the doctors. Based on the funding models, we want to further develop our calculation model so that it reflects physicians’ choices, the economic consequences for hospital departments and the broader societal perspective.?
?
The combined effect of this influences the patient.?
The project is limited to the therapy area of the eye and the treatment of retinal diseases.?
We are looking for someone who is as curious as we are — to build a model that can illustrate how new framework funding, costs and drug characteristics affect the doctors’ choice and the patients’ lives. The aim is to provide an updated and relevant calculator that is useful for hospital departments when planning patient treatment. Got an eye for spotting new realities? Help us see how funding arrangements shape care – and patients’ lives.
?
? Better decision support in Market Access?
? New perspectives and AI expertise ? Direct relevance for commercial launches in Norway
