Why is technology commercialization so important for academic and research institutions? What role do local legislation and international context play in technology transfer? Which polices on Intellectual Property Ownership and Management are more effective in stimulating successful technology commercialization?

These and many other questions will be raised at Skoltech during a two-day Technology Transfer Workshop on November 19-20. The workshop will bring together Russian and international technology transfer practitioners, patent attorneys, inventors, industry and university representatives, and members of the Skoltech community.

The expected outcomes of this meeting include strategies to enhance commercialization activity at Skoltech as well as ideas for further possible collaborations between the workshop participants.

This event is by invitation only. For more information please contact Skoltech Knowledge Transfer Office at  .
