Workshop focusing on challenges and opportunities of new technologies
At the 12th annual Workshop on Medical Innovation (WOMI) scholars presented important research on a range of issues from public policy to health care governance to medical technology. Several papers focus on the challenges and opportunities of new technologies, including AI.
Researchers in the WOMI community focus their research on innovation, entrepreneurship, and organization, in the context of health care organisations, industries, and the wider fields of medicine and life sciences. WOMI’s annual workshops provides regular opportunities to exchange ideas and discuss current and emerging challenges. They also engage in dialogue with selected practitioners to strive to understand the societal relevance of their research, in different ways.
"The WOMI conference is a distinctive academic event that unites a diverse group of scholars who share an intellectual interest in understanding medical innovation. The collegial and friendly atmosphere provides exceptional opportunities to present research ideas at any stage of development and to benefit from incredibly constructive feedback." – Prof. Daniele Rotolo (Professor, SPRU, University of Sussex)
This year's Workshop on Medical Innovation took place 13 - 15 December in Reykjavik, Iceland, and was co-organized between the University of Iceland and the Gothenburg U-GOT KIES centre at the University of Gothenburg. Next year's workshop will be held in Manchester, England.
"WOMI has been going on for over 10 years, and we are very happy to host it next year at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research in the Alliance Manchester Business School. We look forward to welcoming established scholars in medical innovation as well as young brilliant minds working together to advance the field." – Dr. Ronnie Ramlogan (Senior Lecturer at University of Manchester) & Dr. Dimitri Gagliardi (Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester)

Organizers and support
2023 is the12th Annual Workshop on Medical Innovation and Healthcare (WOMI) and it was co-organized by Rögnvaldur Saemundsson, University of Iceland, Maureen McKelvey & Madeleine Englund, University of Gothenburg. The workshop was supported by University of Iceland, Swedish Research Council, Professor McKelvey’s Distinguished Professor Programme (VR DNR 2017-03360) ‘Knowledge-intensive Entrepreneurial Ecosystems’, and Gothenburg U-GOT KIES centre.
Our community is focused on debate and scholarship related to science, technology and innovation in medical sphere. For over a decade, we have organized small workshops across Europe to debate current topics in the economic and social aspects of medical innovation and meet across organizational boundaries. We study medical innovation in the context of healthcare organizations, medical devices, pharmaceutical industry and broader fields of medicine and life-sciences. See more at:
