Skills Development Course for TT Professionals

From 29 Jun 2015 to 03 Jul 2015

Location : Heraklion, Crete


TII's 2015 Summer School is being organised under the aegis of the EU-funded SECURE-R2I project, in collaboration with TEI Crete. Programme now available and registration open.

BACKGROUND

This skills development course has been designed by TII for

  • Research teams seeking to commercialise their research results;
  • Knowledge transfer professionals responsible for bringing their organisation’s exploitable research results to market;
  • Technology transfer intermediaries advising and coaching companies and research centres in bringing their innovative ideas to market.

It is unique because of its delivery by practitioners for practitioners, the provision of ready-to-use, proven methodologies and the use of case studies to illustrate the theory and offer inspiring exercise material.

The training is delivered by an international team of trainers, who earn their living in the specialised area of their workshop.
