Finland produces world-class biomedical research – much of it with real potential to become new treatments. We are here to help researchers take that next step.

This on-site event is open to all interested participants. Please register here: https://www.uef.fi/en/event/finnish-drug-discovery-center-roadshow-2026-visiting-uef

 What is the Roadshow? 

Finnish Drug Discovery Center is visiting University of Eastern Finland (UEF) to meet researchers and research groups with drug discovery potential. Whether you have a promising target, an early or later stage idea, or simply want to explore what drug development could look like – we’d love to hear from you.

FDDC offers scientific and financial support to help translate academic research into viable drug development projects. No strings attached, just a conversation. 
 

Who should attend? 

Researchers, research group leaders, and anyone working on biomedical projects that might have drug discovery potential. You don’t need a finished business case – just an idea worth exploring. 

What the Roadshow will offer?  The Roadshow will begin with morning coffee, followed by presentations on FDDC’s drug discovery support activities, UEF-FDDC collaboration opportunities, researcher perspectives, and university services supporting research commercialization and collaboration. The programme also includes insights into funding pathways for research ideas, along with opportunities for discussion and networking. After a self-funded lunch, researchers will have the opportunity to participate in pre-booked 30-minute one-to-one meetings with FDDC experts to discuss research ideas, collaboration opportunities, and drug discovery-related topics.
