Donostia will be host to an Intellectual Property Training Event, to be held at CIDETEC Headquarters on the 19th September, 2014.
The strategic use and management of Intellectual Property (IP) – in business as well as in international research initiatives – is essential for strengthening the European scientific and technological base, boosting innovation and ensuring growth in the EU. Against this backdrop the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon 2020, places even more emphasis on systematic IP exploitation strategies as a means to better protect and reap commercial and economic benefits from EU-funded research.
Therefore this IP training event will address the overall topic of how to create values through professional management and exploitation of IP. Following a very practical and comprehensive training approach, participants will be made familiar with central concepts and strategies of how to turn intellectual assets into value-creating innovations.
The training is a service offered by the European IPR Helpdesk, the official IP service initiative of the European Commission which provides free-of-charge, first-line advice and information on Intellectual Property (IP) and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The service is targeted at researchers and European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) participating in EU-funded collaborative research projects.
