Join us for the event "Creating Value from Your Research Results" on research valorization, intellectual property strategy, and knowledge transfer organized by CEBE in collaboration with KU Leuven's R&D Tech Transfer Office that will be organized on the next Tuesday 21st of March.

The workshop will cover a variety of topics related to intellectual property strategy, including identifying patentability, spin-off launch, or finding potential industrial partners and how to stablish the basis for fruitful collaborations. Therefore, questions such us is my finding susceptible to be patented? or even further is it suitable to create a spin-off to bring my product to the market? or how can I attract private partners to fund it? will be tackled.

Thus, this is the perfect opportunity to learn how to capitalize on your research results and maximize their potential.

This workshop is designed not only for academic researchers who do not have their own IP expertise, but also as a refresher for those with some knowledge in the field.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and learn from experts in the field of intellectual property strategy and research valorization. Register now to secure your spot!

The event will take care in the KULeuven* but following it in streaming will be possible as well.
