The 17th International Technology Transfer Conference (ITTC) focused on knowledge exchange and IP's role in innovation. Maja Fortun Novak presented her research on IP's impact on start-ups.
IPR4SC - targets the lack of intellectual property informatics and management skills, i.e. ‘IP for business’ skills, that are enriched with green, digital and entrepreneurial skills. Their lack can present a barrier to successfully engage in the new (digitally enabled) transitions towards more sustainability and circularity, whilst achieving economic growth.
The general aim of the project is to increase the innovation capacity of EU inventors, trained in HE and VET organizations, in designing and implementing sustainable and circular economy businesses by boosting IP for business skills.
The project will develop educational offerings to be delivered by the HEI and VET providers that are adapted to the various target groups, include the use of open resources, and support putting IP for business into practice.
The project is co-developed and co-delivered by a partnership of 4 universities,
2 technology & innovation providers, 2 VET providers, and 2 partners supporting
the partnership, providing professional services in project management and
dissemination. Associated partners are involved, including patent offices,
and other organisations.
