Are you developing software with potential for impact beyond academia?
Are you interested in developing new user communities, or exploring industry applications for your work?
This session is aimed at researchers developing software and data innovations such as new platforms, applications, algorithms and tools, and wanting to better understand how these can be transformed into commercial products and services.
We’ll look at IP in software, common commercial models including non-exclusive licensing, company creation and open source licensing and we’ll talk about how to take first steps towards commercialisation of your innovative research.
Learning objectives:
- Understand about intellectual property in software and data including
- Understand how to manage software and data research, including open source projects, with commercialisation in mind
