The event will feature international perspectives and host a variety of sessions covering business-academia collaboration, socially responsible licensing, standards for innovation, citizen science, insights from the EUIPO and the EPO on the role of academia and SMEs, prize ceremonies and much more. A panel will discuss the future of knowledge valorisation.

You will be able to ask questions to the speakers, network extensively and visit interactive stands of valorisation support services.

The event is open to attendance in person or online through live broadcasting, free of charge.

The event’s context is the intensive work stemming from several, recently unveiled EU policy initiatives (Council Recommendation on Guiding principles and Codes of practice on the management of intellectual assets, standardisation, citizen engagement and industry-academia co-creation as well as Council conclusions on strengthening knowledge valorisation) supporting a thriving valorisation ecosystem and the wrapping up of a two-year long EU-wide awareness raising campaign.

We will take stock of this intensive dialogue with national stakeholders and discuss where the new measures took us and what is the way forward together.
