🔍 New ImPact @ NOVA initiative: Protect, Publish, Profit – Navigating IP in Academia, powered by J. Pereira da Cruz, S.A. 💡 We are excited to launch a seminar-workshop taking place on November 4th, 2025, at the Rectorate of Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Campolide Campus). 🚀 In today’s research landscape, innovation and academic excellence go hand in hand. But turning ideas into impact often means navigating complex questions of intellectual property, rights management, and valorisation. This event is designed to help researchers and students at NOVA gain clarity and confidence in this journey. 🔹 What to expect: 👉 A mix of guided sessions, real-world case studies, and hands-on workshops. 👉 Exploration of different IP types (patents, copyrights, trade secrets) Insight into internal disclosures, institutional support, and NOVA’s IP procedures 👉 Tracks tailored to biotech, digital tech, and data & software domains 👉Dialogue with IP professionals and peers on how to balance open science and protection strategies ⚠️ Please note: participation is strictly limited to 35 places. Selection will be based on motivation and representativeness of NOVA’s organisational units. ℹ️ Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/dt2nV24H 🌍 We look forward to building a more IP-aware culture at NOVA and helping our community translate knowledge into tangible impact.
