The Italian Trade Commission, in collaboration with INNOVA’s Boston-based branch, ICG Inc, will organize a two-day “international training event” on the topic Scientific Cooperation Italy-USA: Examples and Instruments. The event will take place in Boston on the 24th of September at the Alumni Center of the Northeastern University and in Cambridge on the 25th at the Cambridge Innovation Center.
The event seeks to promote R&D in the fields of nanotechnology and biotechnology with a focus on research, funding opportunities, IP issues, and international collaborative projects between Italy, the EU, and the US. The training session will bring together academics, researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs from the public and private sectors.
INNOVA’s CEO, Aleardo Furlani, will moderate the debates and discuss in particular a case study on Technology Transfer. One-to-one meetings between the event participants and the experts will be held in order to offer the interested US participants an opportunity for individualized advising, a question and answer session, and discussion of potential EU funding applicable to the participants’ personal needs/interests.
