Origin 

Bladder Academy was initiated by Jens Peter Nørgaard, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. His idea of a urology network originated from his experience in urology, both as a medical doctor, his position in a pharmaceutical company and his position as a urology professor at Lund University. He saw Medicon Valley Alliance as the perfect platform to coordinate such a network especially because of the Danish-Swedish perspective.

Ambitions

Bladder Academy is based on the concept of Øresund Diabetes Academy, however the Bladder Academy will continue as a MVA network and will not be a formel association. In time the network should be running on its own, with only little coordination by MVA.
