WT Leader: Radosław Michalski
Workshop: ’Smart patenting – how to protect, not to confine’
Goals of the workshop:
•
•
•
•
annual workshop for both scientific and industrial partners on the
problem of good patent practices
in Poland there is a lack of paths to protect the intellectual
property originating from network intelligence – such as
algorithms, programs and methods
that is why in the ENGINE Centre we would like to raise awareness
about this problem by organizing this workshop
Expected participants:
•
ENGINE Centre research staff, representatives of industry,
private and public sector, local authorities, R&D units, external
organizations involved in research and innovations
• Number of events: 2 (2015 Q2, 2016 Q2)

WT Leader: Krzysztof Walkowiak
This WT aims at creating an annual workshop for
both scientific and industrial partners about the
problem of transferring the technology from
research units to the industry.
In Poland still the collaboration between
universities and industry is not sufficient.
The ENGINE Centre puts a strong emphasis on the
collaboration with industry, especially with SME’s.
This workshop will allow to promote the
importance of joint research between universities
and industrial companies and to distribute the
good practices coming from such joint projects.
