JOIN THE COLLABORATION
The Open Discovery Innovation Network is a collaboration platform where industry and academia co-create open research projects relevant for drug discovery and diagnostics. The platform was established by five Danish universities together with a range of international companies within pharma and biotech, and funds the academic portion of joint academic/industrial precompetitive research projects. All companies, hospitals and universities are welcome to join the free platform and participate in research projects.
COMPANIES should join to collaborate with renowned academic researchers in:
› solving concrete industrial challenges
› de-risking wild ideas or answering fundamental questions related to their pipeline
› validating new products, advancing TRLs, or decreasing costs
ACADEMICS should join to:
› propose project ideas within drug discovery and diagnostics
› collaborate with industry in an open, exploratory environment while expanding academic and industrial networks
› strengthen the translational potential of their research
ODIN and its funded projects are supported financially by cascade funding generously provided by the Novo Nordisk Foundation (DKK 180 M) and the Lundbeck Foundation (DKK 14 M).

ABOUT ODIN
ODIN brings researchers from academia and industry together to co-create need-driven research projects that can lead to new treatments, diagnostics, tools, and technologies. We fund the strongest project ideas through competitive funding calls. Companies cannot receive ODIN funding, but participation is free of charge and gives access to academic expertise, new collaborations, and opportunities to explore early-stage research challenges.
ODIN is supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Lundbeck Foundation.
