The Life Science Conference for AI in Research
Join research, data and innovation leaders in pharma, life science and medtech who want to be prepared for what’s coming.
Day 1: Learn what AI already does in research, from distinguished experts
Day 2: Build the Research Framework together with other leaders from your industry.
In partnership with
The Next Big Thing in Research
Learn. Build. Network.
Two days, one result.
On day one, leaders from pharma and medtech show what AI already does in research and what it changes for the people who lead it.
On day two, you build the CLAIR Research Framework with your peers, starting from the 16 open questions that CLAIR 2026 produced.
You leave with a framework you can use with your own team, and with your name on it as co-author.

Four Reasons to Be There
Steering Committee
The CLAIR Steering Committee brings together a distinctive combination of senior R&D leadership, academic excellence, and cross-industry experience to guide the strategic direction and intellectual integrity of the conference.
Scientific Program Committee
The CLAIR Scientific & Program Committee safeguards the academic quality and conceptual coherence of the conference. The committee reviews the programme and the cases presented, and supports the Research Framework Day with scientific guidance, ensuring methodological rigor and continuity with the CLAIR Research Agenda.
The Conference Days
Day 1
Cases and talks from leaders in pharma, life science and medtech on what AI changes in research, with interactive sessions throughout the day.
Day 2
All participants build the CLAIR Research Framework together, starting from the 16 open questions of CLAIR 2026, and leave with it for their teams.
What the Two Days Cover
CLAIR is built on four pillars. Each one comes with a question you can take back to your own team.
Method
What happens to study design, validation and reproducibility when AI does part of the work?
Accountability
Who answers when an AI-supported decision turns out wrong? Governance that lets your teams move fast and stay answerable.
Critical Thinking
How do your teams keep questioning AI output instead of trusting it? The habits and checks that keep human judgement active.
Transformation
How does AI change the way your R&D organisation is structured, staffed and led, and how do you bring people along?
In partnership with
The Institute of Management of Innovation and Technology (IMIT) advances industrial renewal by bridging academic research and real-world practice, integrating technology and engineering expertise with strategic management and economic insight to ensure that technological development delivers tangible business and societal value.
IMIT is anchored in close collaboration with leading Swedish universities, including KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, Lund University of Technology, Linköping University, and the Stockholm School of Economics, and in recent years has strengthened its research in artificial intelligence and its implications for leadership and organizational design, ensuring strong academic depth and practical relevance.
