On 30 September 2026, Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN) held the first edition of Open Day @ IPN, dedicated to IPN HealthProof. The initiative provided an opportunity to showcase the work developed by the laboratory, its projects, and opportunities for collaboration with companies and organisations in the healthcare sector.
Open Day @ IPN aims to bring the community closer to IPN’s laboratories and units, promoting a more direct connection with their teams, projects and areas of activity.
Throughout the session, several projects and solutions developed in collaboration with incubated companies were presented, providing an insight into the work carried out by IPN HealthProof, the laboratory’s resources and capabilities, and its contribution to the development of projects in the healthcare sector.
The visit to the facilities complemented the presentations, offering participants a closer look at the spaces and resources available at IPN HealthProof, as well as the environment in which its different activities and projects are developed.
The programme concluded with a Networking & Coffee Break, providing an informal setting for professionals and organisations to meet and exchange experiences, while encouraging new connections within the innovation ecosystem.
The first edition of Open Day @ IPN therefore provided an opportunity to strengthen the connection between IPN HealthProof, incubated companies and the wider community, increasing the visibility of the laboratory’s work and highlighting its capabilities to support the development of new solutions in the healthcare sector.
