Effective technology transfer – seminar at PSTP
2017-04-14
On April 25 we invite all professionals responsible for technology transfer to a unique free training which will help them prepare to deal with business representatives. We will talk about opportunities in cooperation with companies as well as the expectations and limitations of both sides. The keynote speaker is Michel Morant, vice-president of ASTP-PROTON, European association for professionals involved in knowledge transfer between universities and industry.
The development of innovation ecosystems (which bring together business, universities, researchers, technology parks, etc.) creates new options and technology transfer tools. Therefore, it is important for technology transfer centres to be up-to-date with the latest trends in order to be able to fully respond to market requirements.
The training organised at PSTP will give you a chance to learn best practices from Europe, exchange experience and discuss challenges in science-business cooperation.
We invite you to take part in the event.
