In the autumn of 2021, the method for organ donation called cDCD (controlled donation after circulatory death) was approved in Norway after a long and thorough process. In this process, critical questions were asked although the method is already established in many other countries. In order to maintain good trust in the health care system, we want to address this questions surrounding organ donation after cardiac arrest, and provide some insights into how cDCD is performed in practice: How is the dying patient and relatives taken into account? What exactly is cDCD?

This event will give a general overview of radiation therapy with focus on proton therapy and its benefits for cancer patients compared to standard treatment with high-energy X-rays. You will also have a great opportunity to get knowledge on effects of radiation therapy from clinicians, with emphasis on side effects. Finally, a survivor of head and neck cancer will share his experience.

Welcome to our digital event during Oslo Life Science Conference.

InLifeScience is the annual conference for industrial life sciences. The conference highlights the potential for life sciences in Norway, how innovation is realized from pre-commercial to upscaling. What challenges characterize the different steps - and what kind of support you can get in each step.

How do we find our way back to contact with nature? And what answers about ourselves can we find in it?

Infection has characterized the everyday life lately. How did people view contagious diseases before? How does contagion occur? Do we have reason to fear it? What does the future hold?

What is today's gene therapy and what possibilities are there in the future?

Due to the COVID-situation this event has been cancelled. You can stream last years ABINO-event here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl4vukjCtb4_JSh_bKgtChQ

At this seminar PhD students, postdocs and Master?s students in life sciences at UiO and NMBU heard inspirational talks from people who have made careers outside academia. And got advice on how to build their own careers.

LMI and partners welcome you to join this day with presentations and discussions from the Norwegian life science ecosystem and industry leaders from Global Pharma.

For boys in upper secondary schools.

"The Lapse of time" oratorio of excerpts from Charles Darwin "On the Origin of Species" composed by Bj?rn Morten Christophersen will take place in Frogner kirke.

At the main event we discussed how to prepare for the next pandemic. What does it take to prevent a global pandemic? How should the authorities handle pandemics in the future? In what way can research and innovation contribute to preparedness and prevention of the next pandemic? 

The reception in Oslo City Hall is unfortunately cancelled due to the corona situation.

Open lectures by Detlef Weigel (Max Planck Institute for Biology T¨¹bingen, Germany) and Anna Wargelius (Institute of Marine Research, Norway). Darwin Day is an international recognition of science and humanity, held in memory of Charles Darwin.
