For those working at the intersection of research, licensing and commercialisation, having access to new tools, training opportunities and an engaged community can make a big difference. Knowledge and Tech transfer professionals, IP and licensing professionals, researchers and SME intermediaries, all operate within an ecosystem undergoing profound changes, whether these be driven by policy, commercial competitiveness or societal pressure. There is a growing demand that research results be adopted, used, and that they generate broader impact. But having the capacity to do so effectively often relies on having access to the right resources and support networks.
The new IMPAC3T-IP Community of Practice (CoP) aims to become a dedicated space that allows those same professionals to stay connected with fellow colleagues who have explored the IMPAC3T-IP tools or followed the Academy sessions. It also provides a direct line of contact with those behind the project.
Through a dedicated LinkedIn Community of Practice group and regular newsletters, this is an opportunity to stay up-to-date with project news, updates to the IMPAC3T-IP Toolbox, upcoming training sessions and broader news on knowledge valorisation, IP and licensing.
The Community of Practice is also a shared space. Exchanging ideas, updates, tips and advice are all part of what will make the space a successful one.
Whether you’re a certified Toolbox user or not, or whether you’re simply interested being part of this community, apply to join via the form.
