Collaboration between universities and industry is an essential component of a balanced research ecosystem, and an important mechanism through which university research delivers economic and societal impact. However, this collaboration also entails risks and challenges.

The webinar will address these issues and provide an overview of different innovation models and instruments that universities have been developing in order to promote and accelerate technology transfer to the society.
