Final conference of the DIFUSE project

This one day conference provides an opportunity to discuss ways in which universities across Europe can work in partnership to achieve greater industrial and commercial exploitation of research results.

The conference is the culmination of the Framework 6 INNOV7 supported project DIFUSE that has as its goal to explore new ways for joint exploitation of university knowledge.

It provides an opportunity to hear about good practices from the participating universities who are members of an established pan- European university network, the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU).

Above all the organisers would like to instigate an open discussion about the future of innovation and knowledge transfer in universities that are faced with the challenge of balancing working with companies, especially SMEs; in a regional context; expected to grow technology businesses; to educate their students for the global economy as well as perform top class research.

The conference provides a forum to provide impulses to European policies concerning the role of universities, and how they can be supported to support each other.
