One more week left to register for the upcoming webinar “Safeguarding Science: Addressing the Convergence of Emerging Technologies.” Learn how to protect research and innovation from the risks in emerging technologies! @FBI #emergingtech #innovationprotection https://bit.ly/3RejOPQ

4FRONT together with European Future Innovation System (EFIS) Centre and Visionary Analytics are conducting a study to assess the role of experimentation spaces, such as regulatory sandboxes, living labs, and testbeds in the development and market uptake of emerging technologies. The study looks at how innovative regulatory practices can enhance the growth and market uptake of new technologies, and what kind of regulatory barriers innovative technology projects face in their development. It focuses on projects supported by the European Innovation Council (EIC). #emergingtech #innovation #experimentation https://lnkd.in/ghVwsq-K

Reducing overutilization of the wrong tests at unnecessarily expensive sites of care and identifying underutilization of the right test are foundational to a higher quality and more efficient health care system. This year’s Lab Trend Report is a great illustration of the current landscape and where we can deliver on the promise of getting patients the right test at the right time and in the right setting.

The emergence of a codified approach to clinical trials stands among the most significant achievements of the twentieth century. Today the clinical trials industry stands at a critical inflection point, positioned between its traditional paradigms and the transformative potential of emerging technologies and scientific advancements. Key stakeholders are investing in technology platforms that unify data and insights across locations while also enabling common collaboration and communication tools. What are clinical trials? What progress do they help us make? How do you train to work in this industry? Read more. http://ms.spr.ly/6043YjnqX

📣 The International Evaluation Committee evaluated SciLifeLab Infrastructure i.e its 10 technology platforms during spring 2024. You can read all about this and more in the report linked below. 📣 In addition, the IEC gave useful feedback and recommendations to SciLifeLab core entities such as the Training Hub. The IEC recognised having a specific Training Platform/Hub with dedicated training technology infrastructure, support, services and FAIR resources as a key for the continous success of SciLifeLab as a national #researchinfrastructure. 📣 I am very VERY pleased as the report highlights initiatives we now have in pipeline to start in fall 2024. #training and #learning activities need not only to be part of the daily work of any technology platform and part of the role description of the technology #staffscientists at the facilities but also to be of quality, in terms of educational science and FAIR. For us/Training Hub the recommendations to give Training Hub the tasks and mandate to establish: 💫 internal training possibilities for the #researchinfrastructure #staffscientist enable professional development and career paths 💫 external training catalogue that will ensure the technology platforms to capacity build their respective infrastructure users. As much as possible ensuring openly accessible training and that the training is of educational quality as well as FAIR. For both of these areas 💫 Training Hub is well on the go for making this a reality! Together with the #researchinfrastructure community and the #staffscientists we will establish SciLifeLab Training and put us on the map as a recognised lifelong learning prosumer community (producer and consumer in one), a one-stop-shop for life science short-format training and learning. 📣 IEC also envision Training Hub to play a stronger role and with the use of training connecting SciLifeLab with industry and other external stakeholders. I have already some nice ideas for this 🙂 ✨️ Training Hub is well positioned bring the above to success within the next phase (if SciLifeLab management and board will agree with IEC). My hope is that Training Hub is given the mandate and budget to realise these ideas in line with the IEC recommendations already from 2025 and onwards! Stay tuned!

Consider registering for #ReaxysUserDay on October 11th to learn more about how Reaxys has supported interesting research:

Every four years, SciLifeLab’s infrastructure is evaluated by an international evaluation committee of experts. This is an important tool to make sure our infrastructure remains at the forefront of rapidly evolving technologies and research domains: “Although platforms are expected to continuously be alert to necessary updates this is the most important tool for SciLifeLab as a national research infrastructure to stay up-to-date and relevant for today’s and tomorrow’s technological needs for life science research”, says Annika Jenmalm Jensen, SciLifeLab Infrastructure Director. https://lnkd.in/dX3rT_UV

📢 Today, the IoD Science, Innovation and Technology Expert Advisory Group have published their second Glossary of Terms. 📑 This glossary was produced with the aim of contextualising specialist terms in this space. More terms will be added to this glossary in the future, and the EAG will look for input from members on terms they think would be useful to include. ➡ View the full Glossary here: https://lnkd.in/ekDMyutg #scienceandinnovation #ukeconomy #technology #artificialintelligence #businessleaders #glossaryofterms
