Organised by
Working Group on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP)
11 December 2000
PROGRAMME OUTLINE
Across OECD countries, governments and public research institutions are seeking ways to accelerate the transformation of investments in public research into innovations that foster new companies and industries, better jobs and provide solutions to social and environmental problems. The effective management and exploitation of the intellectual property resulting from publicly-financed research is of crucial importance in this context .
This workshop sought:
- To compare policy initiatives and practices in OECD countries to better exploit the intellectual property (IP) generated from publicly funded research.
- To assess the economic impact of different IP strategies.
- To identify good IP management strategies at the national and institution level in order to minimise conflict of interest, facilitate the broad dissemination of publicly funded IP, and foster the commercialisation of research.
