MASTERCLASS + DESIGN SPRINT FOR SEARCH & RESCUE
4-7 MAY 2021
Apply before April 25th 2021 at: https://ice-sar.missions.dev
More info at: info@ttoiceland.is
Living on a remote volcanic island and in a coastal environment brings its challenges, such as possible rapid weather changes, extreme weather conditions and natural hazards. In order to respond to harsh conditions and emergencies in the best way possible, it's important to design and develop reliable and optimised products, services and systems which can prevent accidents and save human lives + other valuables.
We stimulate designers, engineers, researchers and employees of Icelandic Universities and public research organisations to apply for our workshop. We will form multi-disciplinary teams that will work on developing resilient solutions for the challenging operations of Search & Rescue teams. Participants will work closely together with the national SAR-team in Iceland and other mentors.
The workshop is organised by Auðna – Technology Transfer Office Iceland in collaboration with the Icelandic Association for Search & Rescue (ICE-SAR), Arctic Council EPPR working group, European Space Agency (ESA)Space Solutions, 66°NORTH, Summit Climb, Icelandic Academy of the Arts, Kwantlen Polytecnic University and highly-skilled professionals with expertise in design for extreme environments as well as technology transfer.
Participation fee (incl. lunch):
15.000,- isk – Participants connected to Auðna TTO partner organisations
30.000,- isk – Participants outside Auðna TTO partner organisations

VERKÍS TAKES THE NEXT STEP IN UTILIZATION OF 3D DESIGN DATA
Auðna TTO contributed in making a collaborative agreement between Envalys and Verkís. The agreement enables both parties to further develop the Envalys software solutions, VRPsychLab and VRTerrain for Verkís work processes. The collaboration will provide valuable information and methods for utilization of Envalys software in Verkís work routines, for example in increasing the efficiency in stakeholder communication.
Envalys solutions offer research on well-being and experience in a three-dimensional environment that is set up with the help of the equipment, thus increasing the chances that what is being designed serves its purpose.
We at Auðna TTO celebrate this milestone and congratulate both companies on their collaboration!

Last Friday we celebrated our 1st anniversary!
Looking back, Auðna's first year has been an eventful one. Apart from all the practical aspects of building a company we have used the year to broaden our network and connect with people within academia, industries and investment companies. We launched a Nordic Tech Transfer network and finished our first assignments with the aim to create positive change to society. Thanks to all of you who have been part of our journey so far. We look forward to working with you in the future and we wish you Happy Holidays!

The session was opened by our board member Sigurður Hannesson - Director General at the Icelandic Federation of Industries, and moderated by Mona Wan - Associate Director at Stanford Office of Technology Licensing. We launched a pan-Nordic Technology Transfer Network together with Aalto University, DTU, the University of Greenland / Ilisimatusarfik, VIS Innovasjon, Chalmers University, Stanford OTL, Kjeller Innovasjon, and SNITTS. We signed an agreement called "The Reykjavík Pledge". The goal of this joint collaboration is to bring science to society and work towards the goals of the Arctic Council, the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Third Arctic Science Ministerial.

MASTERCLASS FOR SCIENTISTS
On August 14-16th 2019, TTO Iceland held a 3-day Masterclass for Scientists with focus on how to create sustainable businesses and valuable solutions out of their research. It takes more than a great idea and a can-do attitude to transform society, to revolutionise industries and integrate pioneering technologies. It also requires entrepreneurial skills, IP strategy, the right team, connections to key networks and access to investment. The Masterclass was held at the Iceland Ocean Cluster.
Mentors included Jón Ingi Benediktsson from Accelerace in Denmark, Eugen Steiner from Health Cap in Sweden, Hannes Ottosson from Innovation Center Iceland, Einar Mantyla, CEO of Auðna TTO, Pétur Vilhjálmsson from Hugverkastofan, Anna-Margrét Guðjónsdóttir from Evris / Inspiralia, Ásta Sóllilja Guðmundsdóttir and Susan Christianen, Business Development Managers at Auðna TTO.
Many thanks to all participants and mentors for making this a successful event! We will have a follow-up in September with a pitch-day, and look forward to repeating this Masterclass in the future!
