The IAM4RE.eu Community of Practice (CoP) is a growing European network dedicated to advancing Intellectual Asset Management, knowledge valorisation, entrepreneurship, and standardisation in research and innovation ecosystems. The community will support exchange, collaboration, and capacity building among stakeholders interested in strengthening the impact of research across Europe.
Building a European community around Intellectual Asset Management for Research and Entrepreneurship
The IAM4RE.eu Community of Practice brings together professionals, researchers, innovation managers, technology transfer experts, policymakers, and representatives from public research organisations and academic institutions who are interested in strengthening Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) and knowledge valorisation practices across Europe.
As the IAM4RE.eu project develops its tools, training resources, policy recommendations, and capacity-building activities, this community will serve as an open space for exchange, collaboration, and mutual learning.
IAM4RE.eu aims to support the transition from traditional intellectual property approaches towards a broader Intellectual Asset Management framework that promotes value creation, entrepreneurship, innovation uptake, and stronger connections between research and society.
