The crucial objective of WP2 is to deepen the knowledge on the needs of the following target groups: HE students, HE teachers, HE TTOs, VET learners, VET organizations SMEs, patent attorneys, patent offices, so as to define the contents of the topics to be included in the basic course and, especially, in the advanced modules.

The main deliverable of WP3 is IP Monitor, an on-line platform which will assist IPR users to retrieve relevant IPR information according to their needs. It will be a collection of: 1) relevant freely available IPR databases on one place; 2) instructions how to use these databases with concrete examples connected to circular/sustainable innovations; 3) links to currently available important IP tools; 4) technology transfer platforms; 5) national/regional registers of IP attorneys. Technical solution will be based on a decision tree principle (hierarchically structured webpage) or chatbot.
