In an effort to foster more collaboration and support among innovators, researchers and members of the community, UNeMed will host a new event next month to bring those groups together.
UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for UNMC and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, will present the first "Innovations & Libations" event on Tuesday, July 12, at 3:30 p.m. The networking event will be held at Rathskeller Bier Haus, located at 4524 Farnam St.
The goal of the event is help establish new connections, partnerships and collaborations that might help further health care and innovation in Nebraska. UNeMed will bring together UNMC and UNO inventors with potential entrepreneurs, investors, collaborators and supporters from the Omaha area.
The event is open to anyone on campus who identifies as an innovator.
Innovations & Libations is co-sponsored by the Great Plains IDeA-CTR and the UNeTech Institute.
Based at UNMC, the Great Plains IDeA-CTR — short for Institutional Development Award for Clinical and Translational Research — is a UNMC-based collaborative for nine major research organizations in Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota and South Dakota.
UNeTech is the University of Nebraska's startup incubator in Omaha, helping build new companies derived from innovations and discoveries that emanate from UNMC and UNO.
