Z-Labs - Courses for ENGAGE.EU
Z-Labs are addressed to second-year graduate students, stimulating them to further develop key skills that they will apply towards empirical and experimental theses that they will have to submit for their master’s degree. Theses can enrich the synergies between academic research and education with professional expertise and challenge-based approach to formulate interdisciplinary solutions’ proposals to real-life issues. The Z-labs contain three sets of lectures on Technology Transfer, Scenario analysis, and Sustainable Governance respectively.
The classes can be followed online on Fridays from 8:15 to 9:45 as follows:
Aleardo Furlani, CEO, Innova
How can students in academic spin-offs contribute to bridge the distance between technology and market? How can they contribute to the early stage of a technology transfer process (before invention disclosure)?
The lessons will build on the development of skills and procedures which are intrinsic part of the technological innovation process’s complex value chain, linking research to its societal deployment and playing a key role in our economic ecosystem. From the discovery of novel technologies, through the involvement of non-technological stakeholders, the protection of intellectual property and finally to the marketing, licensing and product development, these lessons will give an overview of the entire process.
