SPL 02 - INVENT-VTE Network 2022 Dragons' Den Competition

Four selected applicants to the Dragons’ Den Competition will present proposals of their research studies to potentially be endorsed by the INVENT-VTE Network and/or be awarded an International Collaboration grant. Each applicant will have 5-8 minutes to pitch their proposal. After each presentation, the presenter will be probed by three INVENT Dragons (Drs. Ander Cohen, Mary Cushman, and Erik Klok) with pointed questions geared towards determining if the proposed study is well designed, feasible, and will be practice-changing. Simultaneously, the audience, using an interactive polling system, will rate each proposed study on its potential to change practice. After the final presentation, the audience will be asked to vote for the project that is most likely practice-changing.
