In this 2023 session, Donnie SC Lygonis presents the KTH Innovation Readiness Level™ model—a practical framework for evaluating early-stage ideas across six readiness dimensions. Used by KTOs and innovators alike, it guides idea development toward market impact. The session includes a Q&A moderated by Philip Grother.
In this session, the European Patent Office presents the new updates of the Deep Tech Finder. The Deep Tech Finder is a free tool designed to identify deep tech startups, their investors, and associated universities. The session features a discussion with Costanza Galbardi and Philippe Borne, who explores practical use cases tailored to ASTP members. Together, they share examples on how the Deep Tech Finder can support innovation, technology transfer, and strategic decision-making.
Technology Transfer Office staff face growing pressure to show that their work creates impact beyond financial returns from licensing deals. There is a stronger focus on generating value from the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and on promoting collaboration that delivers societal benefit. 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.
Licensing university innovation can be challenging, even for experienced KE professionals. In this webinar, two industry experts share common pitfalls and practical advice, followed by a live Q&A to help participants improve deal-making and build stronger partnerships.
IMPAC3T-IP is an ambitious Coordination and Support Action that aims to develop, pilot and support the sustainable adoption of a scenario based licensing ToolBox through a certified user and trainer programme, for efficient IP licensing for market uptake and societal value creation. This document is an output of Work Package 2: Scenario definition and process mapping.
Starting from humble beginnings, China has emerged as the world's largest patent filer and is becoming an IP powerhouse. According to the WIPO's Global Innovation Index 2024, China ranks 11th of the world's most innovative economies, and the Chinese government has pledged leveraging intellectual property to boost innovation and economic growth. This also points to the flipside of the medal, namely a centralised institution with a top-down approach to governance. This webinar explores some practical aspects of the two overlapping impressions, or a “tale of two countries”.
This webinar provides an accurate yet delightful introduction and discussion of the key IP Rights related to the protection of software innovation. In one hour Maurits Westerik provides insights on how Software IPR, and IPR in general, originated historically and get a new angle on how they can be used to provide a legal shelter to business based on software technologies, both in principle and with practical examples and anecdotes.
In this Tea with ASTP, Relika Williams and Christophe Haunold were joined by other guests to share their experiences around creating, approving and executing IP management policy for universities. Three different perspectives: from a drafting point of view, an approval / feedback collection, and execution of a long standing policy. Why do we need it? What are the ingredients of a good policy? How to implement, approve and promote it?
In this session Carlo Duprel, Head of Technology Transfer Office at SnT, University of Luxembourg, provided an overview on how to setup and execute an impactful strategy of long-term collaborative research projects with companies, across different industries while ensuring scientific excellence. Sharing costs, IP access, benefits for researchers and companies – what makes the SnT Partnership Programme so interesting for different actors?
The ResearchComp tool is designed to help researchers assess and develop their transversal skills. Besides, it supports HEIs and training providers to adapt their training offer to researchers and employers to be aware of the wide set of competencies that are more and more requested from researchers.
Quantum computing is one of the next big technologies. Robert Harrison, who is also a Board Member of the European Quantum Industry Consortium, explains how to gain an understanding of the physics and maths behind quantum computing and the IP rights involved.
The association's EDI SIG met during the 2023 Annual Conference in Tallinn, Estonia to discuss how women are the changing face of innovation.
