Europe - Training

Our Training Scheme

“Practice makes perfect!” is our maxim when it comes to our training actions. The European IP Helpdesk provides (potential) beneficiaries of EU-funded projects and EU SMEs involved in cross-border business activities with the best possible support enabling them to develop their own IP management strategies and processes.

Our track record speaks for itself: Based on a practical training approach, we have developed an EU-wide training scheme attracting more than 4,000 participants per year to a total of 150 on-site and even more online training events around Europe.

From theory to practice

Our comprehensive regular training curriculum covers a wide range of topics and levels. We make sure to provide you with the answers to your specific issues related to IP-based business planning and IP management in EU-funded research projects: from basic level to more advanced workshops addressing rather specialised subjects such as IP in H2020 or in Marie-Sklodowska Curie Actions but also IP commercialisation and Licensing,  Technology Transfer or Geographical Indications. All of our training sessions are held by IP experts with a hands-on approach, practical expertise and a professional network in different sectors. In case you missed a session please just check our recordings.

Besides our regular training curriculum, we also support individual stakeholders working with the same target groups as we do by providing suitable IP training sessions during their events or in form of individual IP workshops. To ensure a broad outreach, our cooperation partners comprise key multipliers such as National Contact Points (NCPs) for EU funding programmes, national, European and international IP organisations or member institutions of the Enterprise Europe Network working in direct contact with SMEs and researchers.

Planning an IP training with us

Are you interested in planning an IP training session with us? Or would you like to get the perspective of an IP expert and advisor on a certain topic during a conference, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us! We are happy to contribute to training events or conferences of all kind. Please use our online support request form to get in touch. Only one key element we need to share with you beforehand: in order to meet the growing demand of incoming training support requests we had to set a threshold of 30 participants as a minimum. If you would like to train a smaller group or in case you are an individual EU researcher or SME, we would like to re-draw your attention to our regular training curriculum.
