Please note that the registration deadline is<br>October 11 and this event is on a 1st come, 1st served basis!<br><br><br>Please check the conference website for more information:<br><a href="http://www.embl.de/conferences/TTC09">http://www.embl.de/conferences/TTC09</a><br><br><br>The seven intergovernmental organisations (CERN, EFDA, EMBL, ESA, ESO, ESRF,<br>ILL) involved in EIROforum have extensive expertise in the areas of basic<br>research and the management <br>of large, international infrastructures, facilities and research programmes.<br><br>With the support of the European Commission (FP7-ERARESORG-2007-RTD),<br>EIROforum we are organising a two-day conference to present and discuss<br>their approaches to Technology <br>Transfer and show how these activities contribute to the development of the<br>European Research Area. Intellectual property, technology and knowledge<br>transfer are an integral part of the <br>R&D activities and missions of the EIROforum organisations.<br><br>The programme of the conference is tailored to provide a platform for the<br>delegates to explore new approaches for managing a successful and more<br>effective research marketing and <br>technology transfer by exchange of good practices, new ideas and sharing of<br>experience. The meeting will be organised as an open discussion forum that<br>will hopefully indicate new <br>avenues for successful translation of research into economically viable<br>benefits that will boost the economy for Europe and benefit its citizens. <br><br>The meeting will be a unique opportunity to bring together representatives<br>of European advanced science and technology infrastructures, European<br>politicians, representatives of the <br>European industry, representatives of the national governments of the<br>European Union, representatives of the European Investment Bank, the<br>European Patent Office, representatives of <br>the institutions of the European Community and other research communities.<br><br>EIROforum is convinced that this conference bringing together the major<br>European stakeholders will address issues that are essential for the<br>progress of the European Research Area, as <br>indicated in the 2007 Green Paper and in the recent Commission Communication<br>on management of Intellectual in knowledge transfer activities (April 2008).<br><br><br><br><br>Please circulate this announcement to interested members and groups within<br>your institute.<br><br>Kind regards<br><br>Gwen Sanderson<br><br>Conference Officer<br><br>European Molecular Biology Laboratory<br>Meyerhofstr. 1<br>D-69117 Heidelberg<br><br>Tel: +49-6221-387 8835<br>Fax: +49-6221-387 8158<br>Email: gwen.sanderson@embl.de<br><br>For full event listings please visit our website: www.embl.org/events or<br>sign up for our newsletter www.embl.de/events/newsletter<br><br>If you do not want to receive any announcements from EMBL please reply with<br>"unsubscribe" as subject.<br><br>*<br>*<br>==========================================================<br>OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU<br>------------------------------<br>To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options,<br>view the archives of oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu:<br>http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html<br><br>To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs:<br>http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>*
