From 19 to 20 November 2024 representatives of the RTIT>> consortium including experts from the ARC Fund participated in a meeting and training in Niksic, Montenegro. The event brought together experts from 12 partner organizations and one associate strategic partner. The aim was to discuss important topics in the field of new technology transfer and innovation policies, with a special emphasis on new materials, by creating a more favorable environment for scientific research. The program also included interactive joint seminars focusing on European innovation policies and good practices.
The event started with welcoming words from Mr. Đorđije Malović, Executive Director of IEC Technopolis, who emphasized the importance of cooperation to improve technology transfer. Kathryn Singer from Bayern Innovative gave a presentation on “The Future of Technology Transfer”, focusing on emerging trends and strategies for technology transfer. This presentation launched engaging discussions on industrial innovation policies in Europe. Within the first day of the event, there was an open discussion on technology transfer pathways, a presentation of a methodological framework for the preparation of an action plan, and collaboration opportunities designed to achieve synergy between academia and business.
The focus of the second day was on strategic management, financial planning, and communication of project activities. Special attention was given to the development of innovative tools for new materials, an action plan, and methodologies to advance technology transfer and ensure the successful implementation of the project.
The implementation of the project activities will contribute to the development of an action plan to accelerate the transfer of scientific research, technology and innovation.
The project is supported by the Interreg Danube Region Programme.
