Open Innovation programmes
Open Innovation is one of the most effective opportunities for all economic players engaging in innovation, as it allows them to gain a competitive advantage in their industry through cooperation with other players.
The University of Milan fosters collaborative networks and strategic partnerships with institutions and companies for the development of innovative solutions. It promotes projects that can accelerate the application of research findings, in order to respond to new challenges through close synergy with the economic and social realms.
Seed4Innovation – S4I is the first scouting programme of the University of Milan, created with the UNIMI Foundation: it aims at identifying University projects with high potential for industrial development.
IP consulting firm Studio Torta has launched its 12th national contest for Master’s and PhD theses on industrial property. The three winners will receive €2,000 each.
The goal of the award is to acknowledge research works focusing on industrial law, the protection and commercialisation of intellectual property, and the management of corporate intangible assets.
The contest is open to Master’s and PhD graduates from legally-recognised Italian and foreign Universities, provided that they defended their thesis between 1 May 2023 and 31 July 2024.
Applications and all attachments must be sent by 31 July 2024.
Falling Walls Lab is an international initiative designed to promote outstanding ideas of young researchers, and to connect scientists and entrepreneurs globally, with a view to breaking down the walls in science and society.
Its Italian segment, Falling Walls Lab Italy, is organised by the University of Milan-Bicocca in partnership with MUSA scarl, Liftt, the University of Milan, Bocconi University, the University of Bergamo, the University of Pavia, PoliHub, the Polytechnic University of Bari, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, the Università Cattolica of Milan, MITO Technology, Social Innovation Teams, BiM, Netval, the University for Innovation Foundation and the Italian Embassy in Berlin.
Falling Walls Labs are organised globally throughout the year, to identify outstanding ideas in a variety of fields, from science to arts, from sociology to economy. During Falling Walls Labs, students, scientists and young talents take the stage to pitch their research work, business model or start up, with one condition: they have just three minutes to complete their presentation and explain which wall they want to break, which problem they want to solve with their project.
A committee of experts is tasked with selecting the best proposals, which will be pitched on 30 May 2024 at the University of Milan-Bicocca.
There, a jury of academics and representatives of the business sectors will judge the presentations and identify the best one. The winner will be awarded a paid trip and a ticket to the Falling Walls Science Summit, i.e. the final event of Falling Walls, which will be held in November in Berlin.
The winner of Falling Walls Lab Italy will have the unique chance to present his/her work to a global audience at the Falling Walls Science Summit 2024 in Berlin, together with the 75 winners of the other Falling Walls Labs organised around the world.
