ImPact @ NOVA held successfuly


In order to raise awareness amongst the NOVA community regarding the potentialities of IP and IP rights, NOVA Impact hosted an event on this topic. It gathered scientists, researchers and other academic and non-academic staff together to learn about the importance of IP in their works and projects, as well as to provide them with some basic knowledge on some technicalities regarding the protection of their inventions. There was also a presentation on NOVA’s policies and internal procedures, whilst providing some insights on best practices and other useful tips.

The event was structured following a parallel technical workshop (WS) approach, according to the participants’ field of knowledge and preference. stimulating fruitful discussions regarding the actual challenges that scientists, researchers and other academic and non-academic staff face when managing their projects, IP portfolio and knowledge transfer strategies. This has been a great opportunity to stimulate faculty in engaging with experts on this field, namely patent attorneys.
