KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGY

IIIA Education

  • Learning is fundamentally important for all students, business sectors, and society as a whole.
  • Available modern machines and equipment for young researchers enable the further development of ideas for scientific research and adaptation of conceptual solutions for the development of modern labour markets.

IIIB CONVENTIONS OF YOUNG RESEARCHERS

  • Organization of quarterly gatherings of all members involved in the implementation of the project to exchange ideas and research results
  • Interaction between research groups, mutual visits to research laboratories, stimulation of creativity.
  • Meetings with representatives of the economy, introduction to the expectations of the other party in the process of technology transfer.
  • Lectures, presentation, discussions and workshops – development of practical research skills.
  • Adaptation and upgrading of specific research equipment and instruments for the design of new innovative products – education and practical work.
  • The concept of opening up complementary research areas to propose new project applications.

IIIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

  • Cooperation and participation of the University of Split’s Technology Transfer Office (UTT) with the aim of supporting the achievement of intellectual property, its protection/management and the knowledge and technology transfer – UTT monitors the work of all activities through group and individual meetings with researchers.
  • “Contribution to the realization of the concept of “REI” in terms of integrating research, innovation and education for the purpose of knowledge / technology transfer.”

Based on the researcher’s query:

  • conduct patent searches to map the state of the technology and scientific advances and informed management of research.
  • use the Global Patent Index (GPI) tool of the European Patent Office.
  • timely detection of new knowledge and increase research efficiency, ensuring risk control.
  • expose the intellectual creations
  • choose the appropriate protection form (s) (usually trade secret or patent), subcontracting to patent agents.
  • elaboration of the plan of exploitation of each new opportunity and analysis of the market opportunity for more realistic valuation and negotiation in commercialization.
  • list of potential licensees and initiate the sales process.
  • forming a management team and finding investors to set up spin-off companies.
  • fostering a culture of linking research with innovation for the acquisition of intellectual property as well as knowledge for its management – workshops on intellectual property.
  • Annual Award for Most Innovative Researcher.
