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.

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. 

The event is open to attendance in person or online. The programme and registration form are available in the event announcement on the DG Research and Innovation website of the European Commission.
