Tea with ASTP: The IMPAC3T-IP and Impact Licensing Initiative toolboxes

Many IP rights remain underused, with untapped global potential. The EU-funded Horizon Europe initiatives—Impact Licensing Initiative and IMPACT3-IP—develop tools, training, and business models to support broader and more global impact. This session explores these initiatives and how they contribute to professional development for practitioners and their clients.
