ASTP invites you to Bologna, host of the oldest university in the world. For our fourth annual seminar in Bologna we are proud to offer you a programme with expert speakers from Europe and the US of  Science Based Intellectual Property Management. For the first time we also offer an Introductionary course on IP- and Patent Rights for those who have started recently their profession on the interface between Science and Industry.

Bologna is located in the Emilia-Romagna region, an excellent region for innovative start-ups, awarded as ‘region of excellence’ in 2001 and renowned of its delicious Italian spices. The city offers the right ambiance to share world class expertise on IPR between University and Industry among speakers and participants.

On Wednesday afternoon an optional programme will be offered to ASTER, the Technology Transfer consortium of the four universities of Emilia-Romagna together with Regional Government and National Research Centres. Directly after this visit we will return to the city centre and walk along the highlights of Bologna. Afterwards a cocktail will be offered. The Regional Minister of  Productive Activities, Economic Development and Telematic Plan will welcome all delegates of the conference at the Emilia Romagna Region Building at 18.00. We warmly invite you to have a first acquaintance with each other while enjoying a glass of Italian wine or other joys of ‘la Bella Italia’.
