EPO Event: Patents and Innovation in European Universities
Disruptive technologies and the future of innovation seem to increasingly rely on academic research. The role of universities in technology transfer – through licensing, research contracts, spin-out companies and collaborative projects – continues to grow. To mark its first anniversary, the European Patent Office’s Observatory on Patents and Technology is hosting an online event tailored to universities, researchers, policymakers and everyone passionate about innovation. The event will address a key challenge: while Europe excels in research, effectively bringing these results to the market remains difficult.
