Vesalius Innovation Award
by Karger Publishers
"From the third time on, it's tradition!"- True to this principle, Karger Publishers is pleased to invite innovative companies with a focus on Open Science and Health Sciences to participate in the 3rd Vesalius Innovation Award in 2022 once again.
Eponym Surgeon Andreas Vesalius not only revolutionized anatomy when he published De Humanis Corporis Fabrica in 1543. His work also took typography and illustration to a new level, laying the foundation for an entirely new view of the human body for many generations to come.
Fast forward to 2022, Health Sciences publishing is ready for a new revolution. The movement towards Open Research and the increased use of digital technologies in healthcare fundamentally change the way researchers, doctors, and patients create and consume knowledge.
For the further development of the award, this year the focus for participating startups will be expanded to include "Open Science", which further reflects the innovative spirit of Andreas Vesalius.
Our Finalists
The last weeks were very exciting for the Vesalius Innovation Award team as well as for the members of the Jury, since the five finalists who will now be benefitting from the mentoring program had to be chosen.
All participants were amazed by the high quality of the applications, which made the selection process pleasantly difficult, but led to very fruitful discussions within the decision-making committee.
We are delighted that we can now present the five finalists.
