Description of the training:
Participants will initially learn about the principles and practices of multi-directional knowledge and technology transfer. Knowledge and technology transfer is usually discussed when it goes from education and research organisations to the economy, but it often also takes place between all other actors in society. Through two case studies, they will learn about the process of transfer of an invention from a research organisation to a company and the transfer of an invention from an independent inventor to a company. We will also learn about successful Slovenian examples of spin-offs and start-ups.
Competences acquired:
- understanding the principles and practices of knowledge and technology transfer
- Understanding the different directions of knowledge and technology transfer
- applicable principles of knowledge and technology transfer in real-life scenarios, such as what royalty to propose for your invention or computer program
- insights into when it makes more sense to transfer knowledge and technology and when to set up your own business
- the basics of intellectual property protection
