The director of InnovPlantProtect's New Biopesticides department, Cristina Azevedo, will take part in the next “MED às 4as” (MED on Wednesdays), on March 6, a round table organized by the MED - Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development, on “From research to application: the path of knowledge from R&D institutions to Industry”.
The round table aims to deepen understanding of the ways in which technological innovation developed in public and private institutions is implemented so that in the future we can optimize the processes associated with applications for protection and maintenance of intellectual and industrial property rights. The idea is to help researchers explore the commercial potential of their ideas and results, make contacts with industry, and expand the impact of research by promoting the transition of their discoveries and inventions from the laboratory and the field to the benefits of real life.
In addition to Cristina Azevedo, the round table will also bring together Vanda Rebelo, head of the Scientific Activities Management Division at the University of Évora, Bruno Medronho, MED researcher at the University of the Algarve, and Susana Filipe, executive director of the CHANGE Associated Laboratory, specialists in the various areas of technology, from research to the production and licensing of patents, to explore the strategy of building an effective link between innovation and utility, which reinvigorates the transfer of knowledge between the university, industry and society. The moderator will be Patrick Materatski, researcher at MED.
The session will take place in person in the Conference Room of the Mitra Pole, at the University of Évora, between 2pm and 3pm, but it is also possible to watch it via Zoom.
