Innovation support services at the University

På svenska

The University's innovation activities are centred on using knowledge to improve our world and the human condition. Together with researchers and students, we develop ideas and research findings into innovations. In their turn, these solve serious problems and create value.

LU Innovation

The University's innovation office, LU Innovation, helps students and researchers from all faculties at Lund University to transform ideas and research findings into new products, services or methods.

LU Innovation can help to ensure that research and knowledge are brought into society, by offering

  • free idea and innovation development
  • advice on patents and legal issues, and
  • assistance with funding at different project stages.

The innovation office collaborates with other stakeholders both regionally and internationally. These for example include incubators, financiers and industry networks.
