ASTP Annual Conference, Best Practices in Transfer of Science and Technology, 28 & 29 May 2009 - Ghent, Belgium

ASTP is pleased to announce that our 2009 Annual Conference will be held in Ghent on the 28th and 29th of May. Ghent will warmly welcome you in a unique contemporary setting embedded in hundreds of historic buildings: Ghent was recently placed third by National Geographic in its global ranking of authentic destinations!

28 May 2009 - 29 May 2009
Austria
A wide range of current topics and themes have been selected that we hope to resonate with Technology Transfer practitioners everywhere, including:
- an introductory track that focuses on ‘Spinning out’, with special attention to when (not) to create a spin-off, the business plan, raising capital and shareholder agreements, also through workshops
- a series of sessions focusing on our interactions with the various players in the tech transfer ecosystem: the researchers, the university government, industry, and politics/government officials: what does each of them want from us, and how to live up to all the different expectations?
- a track on ‘Challenges in technology transfer’, focussing on the various aspects we come across every day: valutation of technologies, what about Arts & Humanities, proof-of-concept schemes revaluated, valorization of tissue- and databanks, and post deal follow-up.

Besides the regular conference program, we also offer a social program on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday evening.

Please check the website of ASTP (www.astp.net) for the complete overview of the conference- and social program.
