Directors' Forum

The Directors’ Forum SIG provides a platform for directors of Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs) to exchange experiences and address the broad spectrum of KTO management. Themes include HR, policy, finances, reporting, software tools, and other relevant operational and strategic topics.

The SIG is particularly committed to supporting smaller KTOs and newer directors in their growth journey. It also seeks to strengthen the collective voice of directors by bringing forward shared challenges to the European level or encouraging other actors to deliver solutions.

Each year, members select a specific theme to launch at the annual in-person Directors’ Forum meeting. This topic is further explored in online follow-up sessions and culminates in a position paper. The SIG also fosters networking opportunities and smaller discussion groups, creating a supportive space for directors to collaborate and learn from one another.
