Professor Bodil Holst from the University of Bergen will discuss how fundamental research at the Department of Physics and Technology laid the foundation for the technology company Lace Lithography. The company is developing more advanced computer chips in a cheaper and more environmentally friendly way. For this work, Holst was awarded the Research Council of Norway's Innovation Award for 2025.\nThomas von Erlach will explain how research in medicine and technology at MIT has been translated into societal impact through the company Vivtex. The company recently entered into a partnership with Novo Nordisk worth USD 2.1 billion to develop new treatments for obesity and diabetes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A panel discussion featuring Anne Kjersti Fahlvik from the Research Council of Norway, Morten Ansteensen from Lace Lithography, and Kai Stoltz from the Bergen Chamber of Commerce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The official recognition of this year's UiB Id\u00e9 winners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A unique encounter between music and comb jellies (ctenophores), fascinating creatures that can both \"age backwards\" and inspire researchers to rethink the origins of the brain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vice-Rector Kjell-Morten Myhr particularly encourages academic staff, including those who do not consider themselves \"innovative\", to attend and learn more about innovation activities at the University of Bergen. He looks forward to seeing people from different academic disciplines and sectors come together to connect and inspire one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Innovation rarely happens without collaboration, diverse perspectives, and the sharing of ideas and challenges. That is why it is so valuable to gather both across disciplines and across sectors under one roof. I also hope the day will inspire even more researchers to explore how their own research can be developed into solutions that create value for society,\" says Myhr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www4.uib.no\/om-uib\/aktuelt\/inviterer-til-uib-innovasjonsdag-for-tredje-gang\">Inviting participants to the University of Bergen Innovation Day for the third time | UiB<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to calender event and registration form&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www4.uib.no\/arrangementer\/uib-innovasjonsdag-2026\">UiB Innovation Day<\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;og engelsk: <a href=\"https:\/\/www4.uib.no\/en\/events\/uib-innovation-day-2026\">UiB Innovation Day<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21. september arrangeres UiB Innovasjonsdag, en m\u00f8teplass for forskere, n\u00e6ringsliv, studenter, politiske beslutningstakere, og innovasjonsakt\u00f8rer i regionen<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/2026\/09\/04\/uibs-innovasjonsdag\/\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":2783,"featured_media":29028,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nyheter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2783"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29026"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29027,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29026\/revisions\/29027"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/k2info.w.uib.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
