IOF Alliance Valorisation Manager UAntwerpen - UZA 07/11/2022 - 31/12/2026

Abstract

In the life sciences, several AUHA research groups collaborate with the business community on a regular basis. Some of the professors involved may call on an IOF fellowship holder assigned to an IOF consortium to which they belong. In particular, all other professors and researchers from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences are supported by a central IOF mandate in facilitating collaboration with the business community. For projects in collaboration with researchers who also have a clinical function at the UZA, support is provided from this mandate: IOF Alliance Valorisation Manager UAntwerp-UZA.

    IOF Valorisation Life Sciences 07/03/2022 - 31/12/2026

    Abstract

    Multiple AUHA research groups are working together with private partners in the domain of life sciences. Some of them are integrated in IOF-consortia and supported by a dedicated IOF fellow. The professors within the faculties Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences and Medicine and Health Sciences, which are not embedded in the IOF consortia but have a high need for dedicated valorization support, will be supported by this IOF-fellow. Those projects are mainly in the field of biomarker research, biological tools, exploitation of analytical methods, in vitro and in vivo models, medical devices, E-health and rehabilitation sciences.

      IOF Valorisation - Project Development 01/07/2021 - 31/12/2026

      Abstract

      Within the AUHA, multiple research groups work together with the business community on a regular basis. Some of them are integrated in IOF-consortia and supported by a dedicated IOF fellow. All other professors, which are not embedded in the IOF consortia, are supported by a central IOF mandate in facilitating collaboration with industry. A number of valorisation files require specific follow-up. This IOF mandate will be able to pick up these projects independently of any valorisation domain, scientific domain or IOF consortium and thus realize an extra leverage on our valorisation output parameters.

        IOF Valorisation of social and human sciences. 01/03/2021 - 31/12/2026

        Abstract

        Within SSH domain we notice an increasing activity towards partnerships with the private sector. Innovative software applications are an important driver, but also in the domains of communication, ethics, management systems, transport, law and safety sciences an increasing need for valorization support is observed. This IOF mandate will be facilitator for industrial partnerships within the faculties Social Sciences, Law, Arts, Applied Economics and the Institute of Development Policy and Management (IOB).

          Abstract

          Multiple AUHA research groups are working together with private partners in the domain of Exact and Applied Sciences. Some of them are integrated in IOF-consortia and supported by a dedicated IOF fellow. The professors within the faculties Science, Applied Sciences and Design Sciences which are not embedded in the IOF consortia but have a high need for dedicated valorization support, will be supported by the IOF-fellow appointed under this IOF project.
