Have you ever thought about what it would take to turn your research into something that really makes a difference? 🌟 We are proud to be partnering with FNP, the FNP Foundation for Polish Science, on a programme to accelerate commercialisation across the whole of Poland via the PRIME project. On Tuesday, we participated in the PRIME Programme Online Info Day together hosted by FNP and discussed new exciting opportunity for researchers, business leaders, TTO staff from Polish research institutions.   PRIME is designed to help Polish researchers bridge the gap between the lab and the market. It’s not just about innovation; it’s about making your ideas impactful through tailored support, certified training, mentoring, and workshops, everything you’d need to get your research off the ground and into the hands of people who can benefit from it.   Applications open in January - we can't wait to meet Polish researchers, entrepreneurial leads, and TTO experts on their journey to commercialisation!    #Innovation #FNP #Oxentia #PRIMEProgramme #ResearchToImpact

What does climate change have to do with health? Quite a lot, actually! It was fantastic to meet the Wellcome Trust team in person last week to discuss the findings of our heat and health study, which aims to help shape Wellcome’s research funding strategy. Our colleagues Andreea, Britta and Frank travelled to Wellcome’s HQ in London to deliver a workshop that explored the heat and health research priorities in Asia, what innovations are emerging to address those priorities, and who are the key stakeholders conducting or supporting research in this field.   We have been working with Wellcome for the past five months to map the research and innovation activities at the intersection of human health and heat in Asia and to identify opportunities to protect communities from heat through biomedical innovation. To validate our findings, we have worked collaboratively with the Wellcome team to: ✅Analyse more than 100, 000 publications, patents and grants in heat and health ✅Interview 15 stakeholders from 10 countries ✅Launch a survey that reached more than 350 people Our findings will be shared at the First GHHIN Southeast Asia Heat Health Forum in January 2025.

🚀 Announcing the launch of the PRIME Project: Advancing research commercialisation in Poland   Poland has an excellent research base, but lags other countries when it comes to commercial exploitation of this world-class science. To address this, the FNP Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) has partnered with Oxentia - Oxford-based innovation management experts - to launch the PRIME programme, supported by funding from the Ministerstwo Funduszy i Polityki Regionalnej (European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG)).

PRIME will focus on: 🚀Interdisciplinary collaboration: Forming teams comprising researchers, business leaders, and technology transfer experts.  🚀Market-driven innovation: Identifying societal and industry needs to inform product development.  🚀Capacity-building: Delivering certified training, workshops, and bespoke mentoring with contributions from internationally renowned experts.  🚀Strategic significance of PRIME Through PRIME, researchers will gain the funding, tools, support and knowledge required to: 🚀Develop and launch market-ready spin-offs.  🚀Strengthen partnerships with industry stakeholders and potential investors.  🚀Contribute to long-term innovation growth within Poland’s knowledge economy.   “This programme reflects our belief in the importance of an individualised approach to research commercialisation. PRIME offers tailored support for each project, recognising that every idea requires a distinct strategy, network, and pathway to achieve success,” explained Dr💡 Marcelina Firkowska, Head of the Academic Entrepreneurship Section at FNP. Steve Cleverley PhD MBA CEO & Director of Oxentia, further noted:  “At Oxentia, we are committed to bringing transformative ideas to life.
