As a partner of the ASTP-Proton Conference, Ascenion is pleased to invite you to Istanbul from 20 - 22 May 2015.The annual conference is one of the biggest conferences for knowledge and technology transfer professionals in Europe.
‘I’m very much looking forward to discussing key challenges and creating new ideas for taking an increasingly pro-active approach to knowledge transfer’, comments Dr Christian Stein, President of ASTP-Proton and CEO of Ascenion. ‘New strategies are needed for de-risking promising scientific results to a stage of maturity that makes them attractive to investors and industry.’

- IP policies in Europe and beyond, how they motivate or deter researchers from knowledge transfer
