Marie Louise Conradsen is Head of Open Innovation in Science at Aarhus University (Denmark).

Since 2016, she has led the university’s use of “open innovation in science” as a new model for IP-free industry collaboration - within several research areas incl. material sciences, food, drug discovery and carbon capture.

She holds a PhD from Copenhagen Business School and a MSc in Molecular Biology and The History of Science from Aarhus University.

Abstract for the talk "Into The Great Wide Open: Exploring “no-IP” collaborations across different research fields”

Aarhus University is currently embracing an open “no-IP” approach to collaborating with industry – where data, ideas, knowledge and materials are freely shared within the research projects and with the public.  In the presentation, Marie Louise Conradsen will talk about the learnings from a current project within drug discovery (called ODIN), she will describe why the university is now transferring the open concept to other research areas – and give her take on the potential and limits of using this version of open innovation in science to i.e. help solve complex societal challenges in the form of climate change or pandemics.
