Financing Options for Technology Transfer Projects, Internalisation and Opening Up Research Infrastructures & Co-Creation with External Users.
The 10th Plenary Meeting of the European Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) took place at the Pembroke College in Oxford (UK) on 22 and 23 June 2017. This event was organised by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in collaboration with Oxford Innovation University.
The 2 days meeting was structured in the following 3 main sessions:
The first session "Financing options for Technology Transfer projects, trends and opportunities" explored existing funding schemes for technology transfer projects and the perspectives of early stage investment funds, such as Proof of Concept funds and venture capital when raising cash for early stage companies. The session will also touch upon the Commission’s initiatives related to bridging the ‘valley of death’ and relevant technical assistance;
The second session "Opening Up Research Infrastructures & Co-Creation with External Users" focused to identify various aspects relating to the opening up of RIs for external users, e.g. companies, universities and publicly funded institutes, for the development of innovative products, services and processes. Issues to be discussed involve opportunities, such as access to international excellence, and challenges such as funding, intellectual property, and cultural differences of the university-industry interface;
The third session "Technology Transfer and Internationalisation" dedicated to analyse various aspects relating to the internationalisation of research as well as technology transfer related activities. The aim of the session was to invite experts from various backgrounds, including policy makers, research organisations, academia and international players in the arena of IPR to share their view on the feasibility for an international approach to technology transfer.
