The Great Exchange

Financing Research & Education

 

On this occasion, world leading clinicians and researchers, reflecting the original multi-disciplinarity of OESO, will meet representatives from the Industry. This exchange will enable the companies to interact directly with thought leaders, and to present their perspectives on a variety of relevant topics relating to research in their field.

 

Chairs: Alain Bernard (France) – George Triadafilopoulos (USA) – You-Lin Qiao (China)
Panel: Denis Collet (France) – Hans Gregersen (Denmark, China) – Sacha Loiseau (France)

Industry Panel: Boston Scientific – Covidien – Crospon – Mauna Kea – Mederi – Olympus – Sandhill

 

–––––––––––––

The topics, to be discussed in an informal manner between the fi rms and the panel, could deal with various domains, such as: Autonomy of Universities – Academic research – Private research – Bio-medical innovation
– Medtech and startups – Funding, Structuring, and Investor perspectives – Conflicts of interest.

 

Such an interactive exchange among the Industry, the panel above, and the audience made up of practitioners and young investigators, will by no means represent a competition between fi rms but, in the contrary, an opportunity to go further in the evaluation of the problems encountered in these various domains.

 

• After the congress, a document will be written by the panel, sent to the fi rms for approval, and made widely accessible on the IT media.
