In this webinar, jointly organised with Impact Europe, we will explore how innovation systems often fail to recognise or support dual-use applications that could address urgent needs in the least developed countries and why this presents a challenge. The session will also provide an overview of impact licensing and discuss how it can serve as a potential solution.

There is increasing pressure on Technology Transfer Offices’ staff to demonstrate that their activities lead to ‘impact’ and that this goes beyond pure financial return from commercial technology licensing deals. We are seeing more emphasis on realising value from the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and on supporting collaboration and transfer that leads to societal benefit, recognising that many IP rights are underused and have a potential for more global use. The EU-funded Horizon Europe initiatives - Impact Licensing Initiative and IMPACT3-IP both offer developing tools, training courses and long-term business models that address this need for stronger and more global impact.

Join us to learn more about these initiatives and how to get involved in activities that support the professional development of both you and your clients.
