Call for the creation of training modules in the fields of (i) business planning with IP and (ii) IP enforcement under the ip4inno project

The ip4inno project, which is providing training materials on IP strategies for business advisors, technology transfer professionals and other intermediaries to support notably SMEs, has launched a call in view of the creation of teaching modules in the field of (i) business planning with IP and (ii) IP enforcement.

Earlier this year the EPO invited former project partners and other experts who had not previously been involved to contribute to the revision of existing training modules and develop new materials. Work on many of the revised or new materials has been proceeding this summer, and the EPO expects to have over fifty hours of teaching material by the end of September 2010. However, with regard to a handful of modules, concerned with (i) business planning with IP and (ii) IP enforcement, the EPO is still interested in the creation of additional teaching material.

Those that want to bid to create teaching materials for the above-mentioned modules, or that know of suitable experts, please have a look at the ip4inno project website for more information and details on how to apply: http://www.ip4inno.eu

The deadline for applicants is 21 September 2010.
