The purpose of the innovation event is to promote the industrial and social exploitation of knowledge generated at the university, to strengthen and expand the relationship between the researchers/professors, students of the university and the business sector, as well as to present the financing opportunities and programmes of current innovations. At the event, the ELTE Innovative Researcher Award will be conferred and the award-winners of the 2020 Innovative Student Idea Competition will be announced while presenting the most significant success stories of the year related to university innovation. The participants of the conference will have the opportunity to learn about the University Innovation Ecosystem call for proposals and the new Proof of Concept (POC) grant programme targeting university research, as well as to get acquainted with the innovation laboratories lead by ELTE (these are large-scale development programmes aiming to develop digital heritage).
