There is increasing pressure on Technology Transfer Offices’ staff to demonstrate that their activities lead to ‘impact’ and that this goes beyond pure financial return from commercial technology licensing deals. We are seeing more emphasis on realising value from the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and on supporting collaboration and transfer that leads to societal benefit, recognising that many IP rights are underused and have a potential for more global use. The EU-funded Horizon Europe initiatives - Impact Licensing Initiative and IMPACT3-IP both offer developing tools, training courses and long-term business models that address this need for stronger and more global impact.
Join us to learn more about these initiatives and how to get involved in activities that support the professional development of both you and your clients.
ASTP Conference offers great networking and learning opportunities; a chance to share knowledge with colleagues from various areas of expertise.

ASTP corroborates the strong need for profound insights and exchanges on practices, instruments and competencies that cut across functional, organisational, institutional, sectorial and geographic boundaries.

Was great to meet counterparts in my profession who may share my experiences, but who may also have other ideas and approaches.

I learned more in the training course for 3 days than I did in the last 3 months at my job. The lectures were informative & interesting.

Recent studies on both sides of the Atlantic, directed by either ASTP or AUTM, demonstrate the tremendous economic and societal benefit and value technology transfer has brought us.
