"From Invention to Innovation" - Cyprus

The European IPR Helpdesk invites you to participate in the international IP exploitation training event co-organised by the KIOS Research Center at the University of Cyprus and the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics and the Enterprise Europe Network.

The strategic use and management of Intellectual Property (IP) – in business as well as in international research initiatives – is essential for strengthening the European scientific and technological base, boosting innovation and ensuring growth in the EU. In this context the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon 2020, places even more emphasis on systematic IP exploitation strategies as a means to better protect innovation initiatives and to reap commercial and economic benefits from EU-funded research.

Therefore this IP training event will address the overall topic of how to create value through professional management and exploitation of IP. Following a very practical and comprehensive training approach, participants will be introduced to central concepts and strategies of how to turn intellectual assets into value-creating innovations.
