Malta Enterprise in collaboration with the European IPR Helpdesk shall be organizing a basic IPR training on the 4th October 2011. IPR stands for Intellectual Property Rights.
Why should SMEs deal with IP/IPR issues?
Why should IP be an integral part of an SMEs business strategy?
Which are the first steps to be taken?
These are a few points that will be tackled by the European IPR Helpdesk whilst delivering the basic training on IPR. SMEs interested in participating in an FP7, are strongly encouraged to attend to inform themselves on IPR issues. This will help them to consider and tackle such issues at the early stages of the preparation of their project and to negotiate any relevant questions with other participants before commencing the project. It is fundamental for potential participants to identify which information is going to be used and shared in the project according to its purposes.
The main trainer shall be a Member of the European IPR Helpdesk team. A Malta Enterprise representative shall also be informing the participants on the assistance provided by Malta Enterprise in relation to IPR.
