Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

 

IIPM is very pleased to announce the commencement of the Impact Licensing Initiative (ILI), a new EU-funded project (backed up by UKRI guarentee funding) aimed at optimizing the use of technologies and data to address societal challenges in Europe and beyond. The project officially started on August 1, 2024, and will run until July 31, 2027, with a total EU contribution of €1,778,125 under the Digital, Industry, and Space funding program.

The project members Prof Frank Tietze and Dr Soujanya Mantravadi attended the Kickoff meeting in Brussels in September, marking the beginning of this innovative initiative. Coordinated by the Impact Licensing Initiative in Belgium, this project aims to develop an integrated toolkit, including six instruments and two training modules, along with a network of intermediaries across the EU. 

This strategic approach will help optimize the use of intellectual property and data for societal benefit while also fostering innovation and research. Stay tuned for more updates. For more details, visit the website and follow the project's developments.
