Innovative applications of research and science

You will gain knowledge about the development of ideas related to research. Special emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of "research effects" and how to integrate this into your projects. You will meet researchers from different disciplines, who have all chosen different paths to take their ideas further from non-profit paths to commercialization. Other sessions will involve people with extensive experience in key areas of the use of research, such as intellectual property and protection. You will also review different types of entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as the importance of networking.
