Innovation and Research Week
The ninth annual Innovation and Research Week is being held all this week.
Every fall, UNeMed sponsors Innovation and Research Week, a popular series of events that honor innovators at UNMC, and helps educate and inform faculty, staff and students. This year, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is collaborating on the event.
In addition to an awards ceremony, Innovation and Research Week also raises awareness about technology transfer relevant subjects, including intellectual property, sponsored research opportunities, collaborating with industry partners, and research funding opportunities.

UNMC Technology Demo Day enters its third year today, featuring new technologies, inventions and startups that are either based on UNMC innovations, or are innovative startups working to help further UNMC research.
The event will be held from 4-6 p.m. in the Sorrell Center, Room 3001.
The event will feature several short presentations that describe breakthroughs and inventions in terms that everyone will understand. This will be followed by a short reception to mix and mingle with inventors, industry executives, investors, faculty and others.
The UNMC Research Innovation Awards Ceremony and Reception will be held Thursday. The ceremony will recognize all the UNMC scientists over the previous year who were issued a new patent, licensed a technology, or developed a new invention.
UNeMed also will present special awards for the “Most Promising New Invention of 2015” and the “2015 Innovator of the Year.”
The award ceremony will be held from 4-6 p.m. Thursday at the Durham Research Center, Room 1002.
