Associate Membership Programme for Companies. Get connected to University knowledge professionals

ProTon Europe is a non-profit Association representing the European Universities Knowledge Transfer Offices - KTOs. One of the goals of the KTOs is to help universities and businesses to interact. KTOs are professionals in patenting and licensing as well as in the setting up of spin-off companies. ProTon Europe is the pan-European Association for the KTOs.

From the beginning of this year we have started an Associate Membership programme for companies and institutions like yours. We believe that we have many interesting programs and tools that might help you to grow and prosper.

1. We organize and are developing several events, training sessions, development tools and databanks that are essential in deepening your knowledge and increase your networking with potential partners and clients.
2. With us you have the possibility to meet some of the key actors in scientific research and innovative companies. KTOs are ideally positioned to search and find research capabilities and innovations for your needs. Through ProTon Europe you can successfully access the knowledge of the European universities.
3. We are located in Brussels, where key decisions on patenting, R&D policy, science and industrial policy are made. Our priority aim is to influence the main actors for achieving a better and less burdensome patenting regime and to promote innovation enhancing policies. We would like to hear about your areas of interest and concern.

ProTon Europe’s structure has been developed with the contribution from the European Commission Gate 2 Growth Programme.

On our web-site you find more information about our activities and how you can apply for Associate Membership.

The Associate Membership fee for 2007 is 450 euro.
