New call for innovation projects

Leave a reply

Our goal is to contribute to more efficient healthcare services and expedite the translation of research into patient benefits. For instance, we recognize that one critical area for improvement lies in the patients’ transitions from large hospitals to their home municipalities.  

In partnership with Helse Vest, we have allocated earmarked funds of up to NOK 5 million specifically for innovative projects aimed at addressing challenges in the field of cancer research and treatment.

The application deadline is Tuesday 17th of October at 13.00. 

We look forward to receiving your application!
