This ensures a strong collaborative relationship between The University and one of Denmark’s leading university hospitals. Collaboration across these organisations creates interesting cross-disciplinary relationships, which often result in excellent inventor teams with preclinical as well as clinical experience.

Trust and professional dialogue are part of the basic principles for successful commercialisation at Aarhus University. Aarhus University offers a team structure which ensures that both inventor teams and business contacts have a designated contact person at AU.
