Presentation

The Innovation Committee is a permanent committee of IRBLleida whose mission is to advise the Institute's management team and collaborate with the Innovation Unit to promote a culture of innovation across the campus. Its work contributes to strengthening the identification, development, protection and transfer of research results, in line with IRBLleida's strategic commitment to innovation and knowledge transfer. The Committee supports the Institute in fostering an environment where innovative ideas can be assessed, prioritised and developed, helping to connect biomedical research with clinical, social and market needs. This role is also consistent with IRBLleida's Innovation Unit, which works to accelerate innovation, promote cultural change in transfer and connect research with the business environment and citizens' needs.
