Last September ASTP started the first
serie of fly-in,
fly-out site visits that ASTP
is
organising to leading
Technology Transfer Offices around Europe.
We learned
from the first one that these
visits give valuable insights into the way that such offices operate, and
of their organisation, genesis and underlying principles vastly more
than listening to any presentation or visiting any website. The take-home
messages are likely to be very personal itll be down to individual
members to decide what they can apply back in their own environment.
This one day
event
is structured
to a series
of talks but with plenty of time for facilitated discussion. Numbers are
limited to 40 participants in order to preserve an informal atmosphere. We
are doing everything we can to keep the administration and participant
costs right down including on-line credit-card-only registration and a
timetable that allows you to fly in and fly out on the same day.

About
the K.U. Leuven Research & Development
|
|
 |
Situated in the heart of Western Europe, K.U.Leuven has been a centre of
learning for almost six centuries. Founded in 1425, the university bears the
double honour of being the oldest Catholic university in the world and the
oldest university in the Low Countries.
Such a rich history of nearly six hundred years has provided K.U.Leuven
with its own dynamic international dimension. Today, the university caters
to more than 31,000 students, around 12% of whom are international students
from more than 120 nations. Top-level research is judged according to
international standards and implies interaction, co-operation, and exchange,
both of researchers and results. As such, K.U.Leuven is a charter member of
the
League of European Research
Universities,
and European surveys rank K.U.Leuven among the top ten European universities
in terms of its scholarly output.
The technology transfer office, Leuven Research & Development, operates
since 1972, and covers collaborative research & consulting, patenting &
licensing, and spinning out companies (including several incubators and a
venture fund).
