UNeMed, the technology transfer office for UNMC, is hosting the weeklong event, which kicks off with an open house on Oct. 7. Innovation Week culminates with the Innovation Awards on Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. in the Durham Research Center auditorium. Awards will be presented to UNMC researchers, faculty, staff and students who developed a new invention, secured a patent, or signed a licensing agreement for an invention.
This year UNeMed will also present two special awards honoring the “Innovator of the Year” and the “Most Promising New Invention.”
There will also be a drawing where one person will win a free iPad. By registering to attend the Innovation Awards ceremony through the EventBright page, a person is automatically registered for the iPad drawing which will be held at the conclusion of the Innvation Awards ceremony. People can also register in person at any of the Innovation Week events. You must be present to win.
The Innovation Awards are open to anyone who wishes to attend, but they are asked to register.
Other planned events for Innovation Week include featured speakers and seminars and the “UNMC Startup Demonstration Day,” where startup companies based on UNMC inventions will deliver short presentations about their companies. Innovation Week also will feature giveaways of T-shirts, beverages and other items.
A complete schedule of events will be posted to the UNMC calendar soon.
