Linköping Initiative in Life Science Technologies (LIST)

Linköping Initiative for Life Science Technologies (LIST) was established in 2009 and is focused on the development of future health care solutions. The mission of LIST is to 

• Stimulate the interest for, and increase the possibilities to perform, excellent research on new technologies for distributed health care at LiU;
• Reinforce the importance of long-term collaboration between faculties in excellent areas where LiU can make a difference within distributed health care

An important part of our work is to grant money to LiU research projects within this area. Further, LIST arranges workshops and follows national and international research by e. g. participating in conferences.

The interests of LIST are closely related to activities within the VINNVÄXT program New Tools for Health (HNV), which is centered in Östergötland and promotes development and commercialization of products and services for home-based nursing and care. Another important initiative with connections to LIST is NovaMedTech, which supports activities in the counties of Södermanland, Västmanland, Östergötland and Örebro for the development and commercialization of medical technologies for distributed care and personal health. In contrast to HNV and NovaMedTech, LIST is entirely affiliated with LiU and supports new research ideas with a potential to attract funds from national or international funding agencies.

LIST is headed by a steering group with representatives from the University, the County Council in Östergötland and HNV. The Center is administratively affiliated with IFM.
