Gaining EXPERIENCE in IP Rights makes the difference for your future!
IP-EXPERIENCE is the new awareness-raising project to promote the value of Intellectual Property towards especially university students, but also to young researchers, entrepreneurs and start-uppers in the context of Universities and High-Schools.
The opening event will present the Project, the objectives and its activities to be run in Milan and Barcelona in Spring 2020. The project is co-financed by the European Intellectual Property Office – EUIPO, GR/001/19, Lot 2: Reaching consumers/citizens and especially young people.
Besides, the event will be an opportunity to explore how Intellectual Property concerns the collaborations between University and Industry, highlighting, in particular, the new models of knowledge ‘co-creation’, in which also youngsters (students or potential entrepreneurs) are directly involved.
Gianluca Dettori, an expert on high-tech and digital innovation in Italy, will share his experience on young entrepreneurs and his perspective on the importance of IP for startuppers.
Following the path opened with previous projects, the IP-Experience training program will run from April to June 2020 and will propose to participants interactive workshops to simulate how to protect a new concept through IP Rights and which actions and effort are needed to ensure the legal protection of new intellectual creations. See all the planned events!
The project opening event targets university students, but also Ph.D. students, researchers, young entrepreneurs, start-uppers and enterprises involved in the use of the IP rights to strengthen technological development through collaborative approaches.
The event will be held in Italian.
The event is free of charge, but registration is needed.
