Training course "From scientific discovery to start-up via technology transfer"
The Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnership Department (DARRI) is running a training course in collaboration with the Human Resources Department entitled "From scientific discovery to start-up via technology transfer," in English, with two sessions per module each semester.
The sessions for the first semester will take place in November 2024 on the dates below.
The four modules in the course cover how an academic discovery in its early stages is transformed into tangible, useful products; how to protect inventions, expertise and software and the relationship between patent publications and scientific publications; collaboration and the different types of agreement negotiated and concluded with industry partners, including license agreements, MTAs and CDAs; the expertise needed to negotiate with industry; and the keys for creating a successful start-up and raising funds.
The course is aimed at all scientists on campus who want to learn more and acquire crucial knowledge on these topics that are important for their career. So why not leave the lab for a short while and develop your career by gaining valuable new skills?
