Innovation

We work on a daily basis to bring innovation
and entrepreneurship to the center
of Ciências ULisboa through the
following activities

ScienceIN2Business®

Technology Transfer

Industry Network

BioLab Lisboa

ScienceIN2Business® is an innovative methodology that we developed to promote and stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship topics and activities, within Ciências and ULisboa.

The methodology is based on annual cycles so it can settle and spread exponentially targeting an increasing number of students, teachers and researchers with which we collaborate.

Each cycle is divided into three stages, designed in a sequential, interdependent and replicable flow.

Find more info on each of the stages of the methodology and ways to interact with us!

  • Learning

When we developed this methodology we realized that we needed to start from scratch and change the way we
were teaching these topics at Ciências ULisboa to promote a mindset change. So, this component is divided in two areas:

Formal Education

If you are a student at Ciências ULisboa from Bachelor to PhD degree know that you have eight available optional courses to learn more about innovation and entrepreneurship on a project based, learning by doing, creative and gamified way. More info here if you want to embark on a life changing learning experience!

Non-Formal Education

Regularly we organize workshops and seminars on various topics related to innovation and entrepreneurship in Ciências ULisboa and other Schools of ULisboa (active collaborations with Faculdade de Farmácia, ISA, Faculdade de Arquitetura, FMH, among others)

  • Selection

On the selection phase we develop two activities targeted at researchers (Call for Projects) and students

(Spring/Summer Schools).

  • Spring School

PATNERS:

In March 2022, during 5 days, students will have intensive workshops and will be grouped in multidisciplinary teams with the task of solving real world challenges proposed by one of the biggest national companies, Grupo Nabeiro, with support from Faculdade de Arquitetura da ULisboa. On the last day of Spring School, a jury will select the three winning teams and award money prizes – 500€ for the 1st place, 200€ for the 2nd and 100€ for the 3rd – and mistery prizes given by Grupo Nabeiro.

Participation in the event is subject to a pre-register and to the payment of 50€.

How does it work?

    • Evolution

    Teams or individuals from the previous two stages of the methodology willing to continue developing their projects
    enter this last stage and have access to:

    Ecosystem of the incubator
    (including space – subject to availability)

    Network of mentors
    and partners

    Connection with investment and
    financing opportunities

    ScienceIN2Business has resulted in the creation of 5 spin-offs so far:

    Technology Transfer

    If you are a student or a research and want to know more about the possibilities to valorize and create impact through the knowledge or technology you are developing don’t hesitate to contact us.

    We collaborate with the Research Support Office of Ciências ULisboa in terms of IP management and are an open door to support projects looking for licensing opportunities or for the creation of a spin-off.

    Industry
    Network

    At Ciências ULisboa we cover a wide range of the key scientific areas with:

    So, there are many ways in which we can collaborate with industry partners. And if you are one and willing to be part of our ecosystem don’t hesitate to reach us, since we are working on a new model for this network and will have more news coming soon.

    BioLab Lisboa is the result of a partnership between Lisbon Municipality, Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon and FCiências. ID with the aim of implementing an open and multidisciplinary Innovation Ecosystem.

    This open concept ecosystem allows citizens, educational institutions, and public and private organizations to co-create new concepts for citizens and for Lisbon through scientific knowledge. This partnership aims to promote training, capacity building, experimentation, prototyping, proof-of-concept, acceleration, and value creation in the area of Biotechnology.
