Information session on Intellectual Property (HLS)

The Tech Transfer Office and the Doctoral School for Health & Life Sciences are organizing an information session on 'Intellectual Property'. Intellectual Property ('IP') is a legal term that refers to various creations of the mind: inventions, literature, artistic works, software, datasets, etcetera. UHasselt looks into ways to protect the research results. When research evolves into a new idea with high market potential the Tech Transfer Office assists with the commercialization thereof.

During your academic career, many questions will indeed come to mind regarding your research: who owns the IP rights on your research results (you or the university)? What can be done to protect your results? In which circumstances should you (not) publish your research results? Can you use the IP of other parties? What should you do if you want to use somebody’s IP or share yours?...

A basic introduction in IP is given by Sanne Stockbrouckx from the Tech Transfer Office of the UHasselt. She will also inform you about the IP policy of the UHasselt.
