Licensing for use and impact: Connecting policy with practice

Join the conference: Licensing for use and impact: Connecting policy with practice on 7 October in Brussels. Discussions will examine how broader forms of impact can be recognised, how effective tools and approaches can be scaled, and what skills and policy support professionals need to translate research results into practical use.

Join the conference: Licensing for use and impact: Connecting policy with practice, a high-level event bringing together policymakers, knowledge and technology transfer professionals, researchers and licensing experts. Discussions will examine how broader forms of impact can be recognised, how effective tools and approaches can be scaled, and what skills and policy support professionals need to translate research results into practical use.

Practical details:

  • Date: 7 October
  • Time: from 09:30 – 15:00 CEST 
  • Location: Press Club in Brussels 

Panels will explore how licensing practices can respond to today's increasingly complex innovation landscape, with topics organised along four key themes:

  • What do we value in licensing? – how evaluation and funding frameworks could evolve to recognise licensing that generates societal, not only economic, impact.
  • From tools to practice and the need to scale effective licensing approaches – existing tools, templates and platforms, and what is needed to scale them across institutions.
  • Equipping professionals for new licensing realities – closing the skills gap in knowledge and technology transfer for increasingly complex licensing scenarios.
  • Licensing in complex scenarios: from policy ambition to implementation – applying licensing strategies in co-creation, crisis response or non-traditional IP contexts,

Participants will have opportunities for dialogue and networking throughout the day.

There was ample opportunity to learn from colleagues through the workshop sessions or more formally through speakers either sharing their years of experience or their state of the art research. Well worth attending.

I strongly recommend the course, even if you are not going to set-up an office but you are part of the team that wants to change or improve how technology transfer is done at your institution.
