Tech Transfer 2022 – 23 | Workshop 2: Tech Transfer Regulations and the Role of Tech Transfer Offices (TTOs)

Following the conclusion of the inaugural Technology Transfer Structures operating phase, this second workshop of the second Tech Transfer cycle examines technology transfer regulations and the role of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) and partnership structures at research and university-level institutions.

Six Technology Transfer Structures will be coming together to talk about the problems and prospects of the research and innovation sector, their experience of the new Greek regulatory framework, and their proposals when it comes to how we can both bring about synergies and substantially enhance the Greek innovation system at universities and research centers.

This second Tech Transfer workshop constitutes yet another opportunity for the Greek research and innovation community to meet – both live and in person at Onassis Stegi, and online – in order to share examples of best practice, and to work towards the creation of a sustainable and inclusive innovation system in Greece. The workshop is to be followed by a networking event, held immediately afterwards inside the Onassis Stegi Fifth-floor Foyer.
