Tea with ASTP | Creating Successful Collaborations

Creating successful collaborations
1st February 2022 | 17:00 – 18:00 CET

Jeff Skinner, London Business School, UK
Christophe Haunold, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
The University TT ‘industry’ bangs on about licensing and spin-out creation, but industry research collaboration is generally a far more effective – and ubiquitous – form of knowledge transfer.

However, businesses often find dealing with universities to be a complete pain, introducing irritating frictions into what should be a relatively straightforward transaction. This happens in part because we’re trying to anticipate what the outputs will be (especially in the form of entangled foreground IP) but also because of convoluted decision-making processes and communication within our own institutions. Some larger businesses have got used to this but the smaller ones and those who we’re working with for the first time are left bewildered and frustrated.

We’re not going to solve the world’s ills in a single session. But we can hold a mirror up to ourselves and maybe identify where we need to apply make-up or target reconstructive surgery.

WIPO: Young Experts Program (YEP)

WIPO is pleased to announce the launch today of its first-ever Young Experts Program (YEP).

This program is targeted at young (aged 35 years and under) and promising talent, ideally from developing, least developed countries and countries in transition. It is designed to train them in the technical and policy aspects of IP, as well as nurture their ability to take on administrative and leadership roles.  Through this program, participants will be groomed to contribute to the development of the innovation and creative ecosystems of their respective countries and regions, and eventually as the future global leaders of IP.

The application process will open on October 28, 2021, and close on November 19, 2021. We encourage you to share this information through your relevant networks and encourage qualified candidates to apply. Please note that the application process is through direct applications by candidates and not through a national nomination process. More information on the Young Experts Program, including how to apply, can be found on the WIPO website at: www.wipo.int/yep

Any additional queries about the Young Experts Program may be addressed to the Recruitment Team in Human Resources with our online Contact form

Govor dr. Špele Stres na slavnostnem dogodku ob vzpostavitvi platforme CEETT

Foto: SID banka, 2021

V ponedeljek, 26. julija 2021, je bila pod okriljem Evropskega investicijskega sklada, SID banke in Hrvaške banke za obnovo in razvoj vzpostavljena regionalna in multinacionalna platforma CEETT – Central Eastern Europe Technology Transfer, namenjena prenosu tehnologij. Vrednost  sporazuma znaša vsaj 40 milijonov evrov in bo v prihodnje s finančnimi sredstvi podprl raziskovalne projekte, inovativne dosežke na področju razvoja tehnologij in intelektualne lastnine univerz in raziskovalnih inštitutov na območju Slovenije in Hrvaške.

S platformo bo zapolnjena vrzel pri pridobivanju ustreznih finančnih sredstev, ki so nujno potrebne za višanje stopnje tehnološke zrelosti (TRL – technology readiness level). S pomočjo platforme CEETT se po oceni EIF obeta preko 350 patentnih prijav in 100 odcepljenih podjetij v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem.

Za novo platformo za financiranje prenosa raziskovalnih dosežkov v podjetniško prakso imamo visoka pričakovanja tudi na Institutu ”Jožef Stefan”, saj bo na ta način zapolnjena vrzel pri pridobivanju ustreznih finančnih sredstev, nujno potrebnih za višanje stopnje tehnološke zrelosti (TRL – technology readiness level) naših inovacij in s tem privlačnosti za umestitev na trg.

V nagovoru udeležencem je mag. Sibil Svilan, predsednik uprave SID banke, poudaril odvisnost trajnostnega razvoja slovenskega gospodarstva in Slovenije od vlaganj v znanost, raziskave, razvoj, inovacije in v človeški kapital. Večletna prizadevanja SID banke na tem področju se bodo s platformo CEETT le še nadgradila, obenem pa se bo sledilo cilju ponovne uvrstitve Slovenije med vodilne inovatorke.

Alain Godard, generalni direktor Evropskega investicijskega sklada, je izpostavil, da se s platformo CEETT piše finančna zgodovina v EU, Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem. Po njegovih besedah platforma predstavlja prvo dolgoročno rešitev za financiranje raziskovalnih projektov in zaščito intelektualne lastnine lokalnih univerz in raziskovalnih inštitucij ter financiranje prenosa tehnologij.

Njunemu mnenju se je pridružila Tamara Perko, predsednica uprave Hrvaške banke za obnovo in razvoj, z opozorilom na visoko tveganost investicij v razvoj patentov in novih rešitev, zaradi česar številni dragoceni patenti in tehnološke rešitve nikoli ne dosežejo komercializacije. Vloga razvojnih bank je v zapolnitvi te vrzeli ter povezovanje med znanostjo in podjetništvom.

Na slavnostnem dogodku je o svojih izkušnjah spregovorila dr. Špela Stres, LLM, MBA iz Centra za prenos tehnologij in inovacij na Institutu ”Jožef Stefan”, ki je že leta 2015 na povabilo Evropske komisije sodelovala v zaključnih fazah oblikovanja pilota Technology Transfer Financial Facility (TTFF), ki je poglavitno prispeval h kasnejšemu InvestEU in oblikovanju Proof of Concept skladov pod okriljem Evropskega investicijskega sklada.

Platforma CEETT po njenih besedah aktivno naslavlja in rešuje težave, s katerimi se v Sloveniji pri prenosu tehnologij vsakodnevno soočamo. Nudila bo financiranje v zgodnjih fazah razvoja TRL in s tem omogočala gladek prehod projektom iz raziskovalnega okolja na trg. Nudila bo dostop do storitev za pospeševanje poslovanja (trenerji, mentorji, podjetja, vlagatelji in partnerji znanja). Omogočala bo razvoj vizije za preboj, upravljanje portfelja in povezovanje z ekosistemi. S Proof of Concept skladi bo raziskovalcem omogočala čas za uskladitev ideje s potrebami trga, sprejem odločitve o raziskovalno-poslovni poti, urejanje razmerij intelektualne lastnine in sistema nagrajevanja za tiste, ki bodo nadaljevali z raziskovanjem na matičnih organizacijah, kot tudi za tiste, ki bodo stopali po podjetniški poti. In platforma CEETT postavlja ključne temelje nadaljnjih sprememb, s katerimi se bo slovenska inovacijska uspešnost lahko znova izboljšala.

Podrobnejše informacije o dogodku si lahko preberete v Sporočilu za javnost.
