In this webinar recording, Anja Zimmerman, discusses how knowledge and technology transfer can happen in numerous ways, from publication of research results to collaborations between scientist, between research organisations, between academia and industry or by creating companies.
Valorisation of scientific results Patent commercialisation scoreboard: European universities and PROs”, finds that licensing is by far the preferred channel of commercialisation (accounting for 70% of the commercialisation of inventions), followed by R&D co-operation (14%) and the sale of patents (9%).
Sometimes universities and research organisations fail to turn research results into marketable products or services, not because of lack of scientific excellence or technical innovativeness but, because of non-technological barriers such as economic, environmental, social, regulatory, or legal obstacles.
The ever-increasing digital transformation of our society and economy is bringing along the generation of a wealth of data with high value-add potential through the extraction of useful insights.

Large healthcare datasets, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning can change the clinical innovation landscape. However, data access and valorisation cannot discount patients' rights; dealing with clinical data often represents a challenge for the collaboration between universities and research hospitals.
The pandemic prompted universities and public research organisations to re-think their IP management strategies. Various open licenses have been developed granting free temporary access to IP rights to tackle the coronavirus crisis. Do IPRs represent a barrier to access innovation in times of health emergencies?
Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing is an international agreement aimed at the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilisation of genetic resources. Access and benefit-sharing obligations are established and negotiated between the country of origin and the researcher.
