A highlight for the knowledge transfer community: ASTP CEO Laura MacDonald will speak in a dedicated session on 29 September, addressing regulatory updates from the EU. The session, “Regulation Update from the EU: Requirements for the Horizon Europe Grant Program on the Horizon Affecting Licensing,” will examine how evolving EU regulations impact licensing practices, particularly under Horizon Europe. She’ll be joined by representatives from the European Commission and the wider licensing field.

From artistic expression to high-tech innovation, this conference highlights the growing importance of protecting and strategically managing IP assets to support business growth and a sustainable European economy.
