Competencies for the commercialization of research
Listening session (virtual): February 8 | 4 - 5:30pm ET
Audience: ARVO members
Registration: Free
The Commercial Relationships Committee (CRC) seeks to gather information from ARVO members to document the core competencies involved in the commercialization process for research. The conversation will be organized around three thematic areas: getting industry interested, intellectual property, and partnering expectations. Your input will inform the committee's future educational programming.
This listening session is hosted by the ARVO Commercial Relationships Committee. A certificate of participation will be available to attendees upon request (email education@arvo.org).
