Matchmaking Workshop Monitoring, generation, sharing and analysis of Medical/Healthcare data

Following the success of a Matchmaking event last year we invite you to participate in another matchmaking event to find research partners who can complement your expertise and form new collaboration for funding opportunities, such as the upcoming call for collaboration in Health, Medicine and Technology (HMT) from Region Stockholm and KTH. A key requirement to apply for the HMT call is that one of the partners should be from KTH and one from Region Stockholm. 

This year’s HMT call will open April 11, with deadline June 11.

Why

We want to encourage collaborations between experts in development of technical devices and/or data science and medical/clinical/healthcare research. There is a great need for a collaboration between clinicians and KTH researchers. While KTH researchers can provide effective solutions for data monitoring, sharing, analysis and modeling, clinicians at region Stockholm have very pertinent cases where tech solutions are needed. Therefore we arrange a matchmaking event to encourage contact between these fields, at KTH and Region Stockholm.

We hope that this event will facilitate your search for suitable research partners and help you prepare a strong grant application, for the HMT call as well as for other future calls.

Who

The event is open for all researchers at KTH and Region Stockholm who are eligible to submit a grant proposal for the Health, Medicine and Technology (HMT) Project Call. Postdoctoral researchers who can be co-PI are also encouraged to attend the event.

What you need to do

• Fill in the registration form
• If you are interested please provide us with two Powerpoint slides describing what you would like to do or can contribute with, or would like to have help with. These slides will be available to all participants before the workshop, to let everybody scan through the scope of the other participants, and they will help us form discussion groups. Please note: The slides are not needed at the registration, you will be asked to upload them one week before the workshop.
• For those interested: prepare a two minute research pitch (based on your Powerpoint presentation) to present at the workshop.
