WHAT’S NEW
Join the TETRAMAX Workshop on Transfer to Industry and Start-Ups’ at the HiPEAC 2019 conference in Valencia on 21-23 January 2019
This workshop aims at discussing means and ways to improve both the industry transfer as well as stimulating people to transfer their knowledge in business ideas and start-ups. Therefore, the workshop focuses on two main topics “Transfer to industry”: How can we improve the transfer of EU research results to industry? Are the existing schemes and organizations (Artemisia, Eniac, Horizon2020) efficient and effective enough? What kind of research project organisations do we need? Etc.
Start-ups: When should one seriously consider going for start-up? What does it take to start a company? How do I start doing it? How can one minimize the risks? What are your experiences with respect to starting a company? For further information click here.
