The conference is open to everyone within or outside of the University of Iceland who wants to present a project or an idea on innovation in health sciences. Presentation of New Professors The School of Health Sciences celebrates the academic promotion and hiring of new professors with a special introductory lecture. The events include a review of the professors' background and greatest achievements and their own vision for the future. The events end with a chance to celebrate with the new professor. The purpose of the introductory lectures is to present the new professor and their work with the aims of increasing collaboration within the school and honouring the professor's position.
