Three universities, three days and more than 20 events on the programme! The second edition of the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & INNOVATION DAYS conference will take place from 1 to 3 April 2025. The theme of the event is: ‘PATENTS, INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURS - Science 4 Business cooperation’.
Last year's edition of the conference, initiated by the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Gdańsk, proved to be a great success. This year, it is time to continue in an expanded formula - that is why the event is organised jointly by the Technology Transfer Offices of three universities in Tricity: the University of Gdańsk, the Medical University of Gdańsk and the Gdańsk University of Technology, which together form The Fahrenheit Union of Universities in Gdańsk. The event is co-organised by the University of Gdańsk's Office of Analysis and Expertise.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & INNOVATION DAYS is an event addressed to scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs who combine the world of science and business, focusing on the protection of intellectual property and the commercialisation of research results.
The event programme includes lectures, workshops, discussion panels, consultations with experts and meetings with business representatives. Participants will have the opportunity to learn, among other things, how to effectively protect the rights to inventions, prepare patent applications and bring innovations to market.
Representatives of Technology Transfer Offices and the special purpose vehicle UG Univentum Labs will talk about the possibility for scientists to obtain funding for pre-implementation work as part of the ‘Development Incubator’ task - the ‘Science4Business - Science for Business’ project, co-financed by the European Funds for the Modern Economy (FENG).
There will also be plenty of opportunities to network – during the meetings, scientists and entrepreneurs will be able to exchange experiences and build new relationships.
This year, a new feature is the zone of partner stands: consultation points where, thanks to the cooperation with the Pomerania Development Agency (ARP), the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH), the Main Information Point of European Funds (PIFE) of the Marshal's Office of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and the Horizontal Contact Point Northern Poland. (HPK PP) event participants will learn about the possibilities of financing R&D work of scientific units in cooperation with business. The stands will also include representatives of the TTO with patent attorneys, the Development Projects Support Office - the University of Gdańsk Project Incubator and Univentum Labs.
