The yearly Research Innovation Awards Banquet will return as an in-person event during UNeMed’s annual Innovation Week in October.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering its 16th year, the Innovation Awards event is scheduled for Oct. 13 at the Hilton Omaha, located near 10th and Cass streets in downtown Omaha.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An invitation-only event, the program will begin with a networking cocktail hour at 5 p.m., followed by the awards ceremony. The ceremony will honor all UNMC and University of Nebraska at Omaha inventors who disclosed a new invention, received a U.S. patent or had their technology licensed during the previous fiscal year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for UNMC and UNO, will present special awards recognizing an Emerging Inventor, the Most Promising New Invention of the Year and Startup of the Year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Innovation Awards is the culmination of a full week of events to celebrate and enhance innovation at UNMC and UNO.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Week will begin Monday, Oct. 10, with a kickoff in the Durham Research Center atrium, where UNeMed staffers will give away free T-shirts, doughnuts, coffee and other goodies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other planned events include informational seminars about technology transfer for new investigators (Oct. 10), drug discovery funding opportunities (Oct. 11), intellectual property and funding considerations for software innovations (Oct. 12) and SBIR\/STTR funding (Oct. 13).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two networking events are planned, starting with “Idea Pub: Innovations and Libations” on Oct. 11 and a “Faculty Entrepreneurship Mixer” on Oct. 12. Both events should help university innovators and researchers connect with new colleagues and community members for more powerful collaborations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Innovation Week events are free and open to all, except the invitation-only awards ceremony. Invitations will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNeMed will announce more details about all Innovation Week events, including times, locations and speaker profiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
