How to turn smart ideas from research into real-world products and services? Experts will share new tools and approaches to help researchers, universities, and innovation professionals manage things like patents, copyrights, and know-how — also known as intellectual assets.
The focus of the event is on practical tips for making sure great ideas actually make it into the hands of people, businesses, or society. It’s especially useful for those working in research, innovation offices, or technology transfer, e.g. research & innovation professionals, technology transfer officers (TTOs), knowledge transfer officers (KTOs) or intermediaries between academia and industry aiming to move knowledge or inventions to market. Whether you’re helping researchers protect their inventions, working to connect science with business, or just curious about how innovation moves from the lab to the market — this event offers fresh insights and real-world examples.
Organised by the European Commission – DG Research & Innovation, the online event New Ways to Manage Intellectual Assets and Bring Research to Market takes place on 14 October 2025. It’s free of charge and open to all.
