Research Commercialisation: Introductory Course for Researchers

Begins Monday, September 20, 2011

The ResearchCommercialisation Introductory Course is US based online course designed to help science and engineering researchers better understand how research commercialisation works.

Research commercialisation involves taking articles, documentation, know-how, patents, and copyrights, which are created during research activities and getting them to users and patients for real societal impacts.

The Research Commercialisation Course is recommended for all science, engineering and medical researchers in public or private research institutions (e.g., grad students, post-docs, and faculty).  

Areas covered in the course include intellectual property, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, licensing agreements, employment agreements, consulting agreements, tech transfer, creating and funding companies, and federally funded Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs

Each lecture is a live 90-minute online class with Q&A.
