Along with the beginning of the academic year, a new course has been successfully completed to provide new skills to young researchers: 'New trends in Tech Transfer. From lab to society'. This time the training has been organized by the Knowledge & Tech Transfer Office of the University of Navarra within the framework of the WIT project.

The course, imparted by Miguel Estruch Soler, offered valuable insights into key aspects of tech transfer to doctoral students, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to transform their research into a positive impact for society, while teaching them how research outputs can be protected and commercialized, the step-by-step process from lab discoveries to market-ready innovations, or how to become entrepreneurs to bring their innovations to society.

In a nutshell, how to improve the valorization and transfer of the research outcomes, to innovate and create impact, throught the technology transfer and intellectual property protection.

There has been 3 online sessions and a hands-on workshop in which attendees worked in a business case, where participants applied what they learned to real-life scenarios, demonstrating their creativity and strategic thinking in addressing tech transfer challenges, to increase opportunities and entrepreneurship that may arise from research work in many fields.
