The inventions and innovations developed at the University of Oulu address important societal challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future. University Inventor Day highlights this work and the people behind it, while also providing inspiration, information, and opportunities for networking for those interested in innovation.
At the event, we will reveal and reward the University of Oulu researchers who submitted the most invention disclosures in 2025, and we’ll get a glimpse into the stories behind researchers’ work. We’ll also hear inspiring keynotes and have opportunities for conversations with researchers and experts.
