Cooperation between science and industry becomes more and more important for both sides. In the framework of Thuringia Innovation Prize there even was a category for university-industry-cooperation to underline the importance of this topic. Not only that BMDSys was nominated for the Thuringia Innovation Prize the company already implemented this kind of team work successfully years ago. For many years BMDSys cooperates with the Biomagnetic Institute of the University of Jena. Together with the university BMDSys set up research projects on the further development of MFI systems. Beyond that both partners jointly perform clinical studies for the application of MFI.
