Following a concise presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A, gaining insights into real-world scenarios and asking questions relevant to their institutional context. Designed for KE professionals, this session offers a timely opportunity to deepen understanding of the evolving European IP framework and its impact on technology transfer and innovation management.
