University-industry collaboration, Research funding, Open Science, Open Science Platforms, Precompetitive researchAbstract
This report presents the findings of an interim impact assessment of the Open Discovery Innovation Network (ODIN), a three-year pilot initiative (2020-2023) at Aarhus University funded via a grant of DKK 54.5 million DKK from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. ODIN provides matchmaking and competitive funding for open, collaborative projects involving both academic and industry partners. All outputs from the projects must be shared freely in the public domain, without restrictions on their further use.
