User Innovation Workshop

About this Event

Dear Researcher,

Have you created a customized solution for research? Software? A gadget? A life-changing protocol?

Your creation might be useful for someone else! Come and share it at the 2nd “Cool Tools for Science” meeting, a great chance to show and exchange a new dimension of your work: user innovation.

Tell us about your inventions and how they improved your research performance, exhibit them to your colleagues and see what they have come up with too. And try to win the prize for the best innovation!

You can submit your Cool Tool for a pitch (this year in a short-creative-video-format – see below) or, if you want to show how your Cool Tool works, for a pitch and a demonstration workshop.

To help you showcase your tool at its best we will offer a tailor-made video creation workshop and some advice on how to protect your tools in advance of the main meeting. 

If you don’t have your own Cool Tool to present but would want to see what other people have developed, register NOW and join us online 12th and 13th May 2021, 10h-13h.

Come see and try out our Cool Tools.

Important Dates

Abstract submission (pitches and demonstrations): 15th January 

Registration (free but mandatory, limited places): 15th March
