FHRI Connect Open Day | 17 November 2026
About
The Office of Medical Research and Innovation (OMRI) will host the upcoming Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Connect Open Day, bringing together the Western Australian medical research and innovation community.
The event will feature an address from the Minister for Medical Research, the Hon Stephen Dawson MLC, and the launch of the next FHRI Fund Spotlight Program topic.
The Spotlight Program is a flagship FHRI Fund initiative that brings together researchers, clinicians, consumers, health services, government and industry to tackle major health challenges facing Western Australians. The next program will be supported by a $25 million investment to drive collaboration, research and innovation in the selected priority area, informed by sector and consumer consultation to reflect areas of greatest need, opportunity and potential impact for Western Australia.
Attendees will be among the first to learn the outcome of this consultation process, the considerations informing the selected topic, and how the Spotlight Program will support coordinated action and future funding opportunities in the area.
FHRI Connect Open Day will also include updates on FHRI Fund programs and initiatives, providing visibility of upcoming opportunities aligned to the Fund's strategic priorities, as well as a chance to connect with colleagues from across Western Australia's health and medical research and innovation ecosystem.
Participation is encouraged either in person or online, with the event delivered as a hybrid session.
In-person attendees are invited to attend a networking session following the formal proceedings, providing an opportunity to continue discussions and build new connections across the sector.
NB. Links to the livestream will be sent to online registrants closer to the event date.
