Following the successful COST Connect – Action for Standards event, held in November 2019, which was attended also by our Action Chair, the COST Academy is organizing two webinars on the topics of Intellectual Property (IP) and Standardisation. The topics are closely related and relevant to our Action and will be delivered by the European IP Helpdesk and CEN and CENELEC.
As this is the first time COST is offering training sessions on these topics, the level of both webinars will be introductory. Please note that it is possible to register for one or both webinars.
- COST Academy webinar on Intellectual Property (IP) for COST Actions (by the European IP Helpdesk): 24 November 2020, 10:30-11:30 (CET)
The webinar will offer an introduction to Intellectual Property (IP); what it is and what are the intellectual property rights (IPR). It will also give an overview of why you should deal with IP, what are the first steps and tools for IP protection and searches and where to get help with your IP issues. During the webinar the European IP Helpdesk Trainer will also explain about the cost of IP titles, counterfeiting and how to enforce IPR.
- COST Academy webinar on standardisation for COST Actions (by CEN-CENELEC): 3 December 2020, 10.30-11.30 (CET)
The webinar will offer an introduction to the European Standardisation system and an overview of activities to bring research and standardisation closer together. Colleagues from CEN-CENELEC will also explain how standardisation creates a foundational framework for innovative and impactful solutions to support the implementation of EU Research and Innovation programmes. A bonus feature of this event will be a testimonial from the winner of the ‘Standards and Innovation’ award 2020.
If you are working with IP and standardisation topics, please get in touch with us to provide you more information of how to register. Please note that the registrations will be done on first come, first served principle and registrations will close once the webinar is full. The webinar will be recorded and available for viewing after the event.
