Event Overview
The IP Ambassador Summer Summit 2026 takes place on 1–2 July 2026 in Split, Croatia, bringing together members of the European IP Ambassador Network for two days of collaborative learning, peer exchange and practical capacity-building.
Organised by the European IP Helpdesk and co-hosted IAM4RE.eu, this invitation-only event focuses on Intellectual Asset Management (IAM), knowledge valorisation and standardisation through an integrated Train-the-Trainer approach.
Hosted at TPS – Tehnološki park Split, the Summit welcomes IP Ambassadors from 23 European countries, providing an opportunity to exchange experiences, strengthen competencies and explore practical approaches to maximising the impact of research and innovation.
The event is particularly significant as it demonstrates how established multiplier networks can support the wider uptake of Intellectual Asset Management practices across Europe, helping participants transfer knowledge and methodologies into their own organisations and regional ecosystems.
IAM4RE at the Event
The IP Ambassador Summer Summit 2026 marks the official launch of the IAM4RE Train-the-Trainer programme, representing an important milestone in the project's capacity-building activities.
Through interactive training sessions and collaborative learning, participants experience the IAM4RE methodology first-hand, integrating Intellectual Asset Management, Standardisation, and Market & Ecosystem thinking into a practical training framework. The Summit serves as a live demonstration of the Train-the-Trainer approach, equipping IP Ambassadors with knowledge and tools they can replicate within their own networks, directly supporting IAM4RE's objective of expanding the adoption of Intellectual Asset Management across Europe.
