Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

It has been a fantastic visit to Johannesburg attending the “Transforming Africa: Innovating our way towards sustainability” organised by Erika Kraemer-Mbula and her team from the DSI/NRF SARChI-Trilateral Research Chair in Transformative Innovation (TRCTI).

During the conference we had a chance to meet several colleagues from the OpenAir network, with whom we currently explore options for a deeper and longer term collaboration as part of the GOCIA project.

As part of the visit the Cambridge team and OpenAir colleagues hosted several meetings and a joint workshop. A big thanks to all Cambridge colleagues who made it possible to travel down south and all OpenAir colleagues for engaging with us as well as anyone who joined us online for the workshop.
