School of Health Innovation (SHI) Boot Camp 2025

About the Boot Camp

The School of Health Innovation (SHI) is a three-day, in-person bootcamp designed for early-career researchers and clinicians who want to explore how their academic work can be developed into health-related innovation.

Register by 20 September: https://nettskjema.no/a/shi

Participants will work in small, interdisciplinary teams to address real clinical or public health challenges, supported by experienced mentors from academia, healthcare, and industry. The program is interactive and hands-on, with time dedicated to teamwork, expert input, and final presentations.

The bootcamp is hosted by InnoHub UiT – a new joint initiative by UiT, Norinnova, and the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) to support early-stage innovations – and draws on the experience of innovation educators from Karolinska Institutet, the University of Oslo, and NTNU.

Participants who wish to further develop their projects after the bootcamp may have the opportunity to continue through InnoHub UiT.
