Newsletter UiO:Life Science December 2017

Sign up for Oslo Life Science 12–15 February 2018

It is a pleasure for us to invite you to the Oslo Life Science Conference 12–15 February 2018.

This is the conference for representatives from academia, hospitals, government administration, politics and businesses who want to develop world leading life science research, education, innovation and industry in the Oslo region and Norway.

The conference events are free and open to all, but online registration is required for most events on our web page www.uio.no/oslolifescience

We hope that you will attend the main conference event Investing in health and environment in the University Aula in the afternoon 13 February, followed by a reception in Oslo City Hall immediately after the event. At this event we will showcase our best research and let international speakers give us new perspectives how to increase value creation from basic research. What are the government’s expectations for the life science community in the Oslo region?

We also hope you will take a look at the programme and sign up for others events that are relevant for you:
