The Association of European Science and Technology Transfer Professionals organises two Training Courses which will take place in Dublin, January 24 - 26 , 2007: Fundamentals of Technology Transfer and Advanced Licensing Skills. ASTP organises these courses in association with Praxis and in close cooperation with Enterprise Ireland.

The training course Fundamentals of Technology Transfer is the answer for people who recently started working in the Technology Transfer field and for those who would like to set up new offices. It emphasises on the basics of the profession, from the legal aspects to the anatomy of a licence and from evaluating opportunities to deal making.

The Advanced Licensing Skills course focuses on licensing - the part of the technology transfer 'process' that starts after we've filed a patent and finishes once we've signed the deal. The course is designed for Technology Transfer professionals at universities and PRO's who have significant experience and an active caseload of their own. We are also opening the course to a limited number of managers from industry responsible for licensing in technologies from universities.

Course setting
During the courses we intend to get interactive with each other in a small and informal setting. Both courses, each limited to a maximum number of 40 delegates (based on a first come, first serve basis), offer a combination of ‘ordinary’ lecturing sessions and case study exercises. Delegates will be divided into small groups to exercise in different case studies & role plays and to prepare questions for final debates. The results of all the groups will be presented and discussed, all provided with supplementary feedback of the speakers, all of them experienced practitioners.

Besides the formal part, the course also has plenty of informal elements giving you the opportunity to meet other delegates and share knowledge. On Tuesday evening the 23rd, the course will start with the registration and a welcome cocktail from 18.30 at NovaUCD. On Wednesday evening the 24th we invite all delegates and speakers to join us for dinner in the inner city of Dublin at the Gravity Bar.

Our aim is to create an informal and pleasant atmosphere during each course, so everyone feels comfortable and enjoys it!
