[ 4th FreeNovation Science Forum 2021 | Virtual meeting ]

Established in Basel in 1989, the Novartis Forschungsstiftung (Novartis Research Foundation) aims to develop and commercialize new products that contribute to the progress of humanity through advances in science and health. To encourage unconventional thinking and enhance the attractiveness of Switzerland as a centre for research, in 2016 the Foundation launched FreeNovation: a programme aimed at encouraging unconventional, radical projects related to biomedical research with the ultimate aim to provide healthcare solutions for patients.

Every year, the foundation organizes an event to present the supported projects.

Registration for the 4^th FreeNovation Science Forum is now open.

At this event, the laureates of the 2019 FreeNovation call will present the results obtained in their projects in the area of Systems Medicine.

Date: Wednesday, 19 May 2021 from 9:30 - 14:00

Registered participants will receive this program with the links to the on-line plenary session and the parallel sessions.

The event is open to scientists from Swiss universities and from Novartis.
