Happy New Year KT colleagues!

This year is packed with great opportunities for us to share, learn and hopefully see each other too.
As you know, we are planning for the Annual Conference in May but as we prepare,  we would love to get some feedback from you on how your institution is managing business travel. The survey will only take a couple of minutes and will help us manage future in-person meetings.
Take the survey here.

Remember, February 8th we see the inaugural webinar of the New Professionals Special Interest Group. If you are new to KT, or have colleagues new to the sector, please come along!

We are also creating two new Working Groups. Contact Headquarters to join.
Patent Grace Periods (EPO)
Code of Practice for researchers on the use of standards in commercialisation (DG RTD).

Enjoy the rest of our newsletter! Catch up on all our forthcoming events and learn what our partners' are offering too.
