The one-day online training course “Advanced Digital Innovation: Details of Open-Source Software – Protection, Management, and Valorisation” provides participants with an in-depth understanding of how open-source software (OSS) operates within research and innovation contexts.
Through expert-led sessions and interactive exercises, participants will explore the structure of free and open-source software (FOSS) licences, compliance management, and the interplay between legal frameworks and valorisation strategies. The course also covers open data licensing, regulatory considerations such as the AI Act and Cyber Resilience Act, and real-world business models for exploiting FOSS-based innovations.
This course is ideal for Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) professionals, research managers, and university or industry practitioners who engage with open-source software in collaborative or commercialisation settings.
It is particularly relevant for professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of FOSS compliance, intellectual property management, and the development of sustainable business models based on open-source technologies. Participants are expected to have some prior exposure to technology transfer or software-related IP topics.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
