ASTP Annual meeting in May 2019

The annual meeting of ASTP, the European association of Technology Transfer professionals, is an important networking and learning event in the community of Knowledge Transfer in Europe. This year, it took place from 21-23 May 2019 in Dublin, Ireland. Sandra Aresta, EnvMetaGen Knowledge Transfer and Dissemination Officer attended the event.

This year’s conference was under the theme: Creating Value from Knowledge. The conference explored Policy Sharing for KTOs, Ownership and the development of skills for KTOs. With internationally renowned expert speakers, workshops, the Knowledge Stock Exchange, and a packed social calendar the conference attracted 352 people from 36 countries. The program included several plenary talks, and parallel sessions on different subjects.

The conference allowed to learn best practices from other KT offices in developing partnerships with industry and promoting internally the KT activities to the research community. This is very important to raise awareness to IP an KT at CIBIO-InBIO, and to move forward on the implementation of the Corporate affiliates program.
