Dear Colleagues,
As part of the 2025 Open Innovation in Science (OIS) Research Conference, we are happy to invite you to join two plenary sessions related to this year's main theme:
The Future of Academia-Industry Collaboration:
Drivers, Opportunities, and Risks of Novel Forms of Engagement?
In two sessions, we will look at novel forms of Academia-Industry collaborations. While traditional models such as technology transfer or public-private partnerships remain important, new models are emerging that are more dynamic, flexible, and open, integrating multiple stakeholder groups. These approaches emphasize co-creation, open sharing and reuse of data, materials, or equipment, and foster iterative feedback between researchers and industry professionals throughout the design, implementation, and translation of scientific research projects. By doing so, they aim to achieve not only breakthroughs in scientific discovery but also a higher likelihood of translation into societally relevant innovations.
