- Credibility in understanding, and assessing the technologies
- Creativity and pragmatism in applying these in a commercial setting
- The ability to draft, interpret and assess IP, research contracts and licensing agreements
- Efficient planning and development of commercialisation strategies
- The ability to understand the political and cultural differences between the academic and the private sector, and to operate effectively in each
- Negotiation and relationship building to bring all the stakeholders along to a successful outcome.
This course covers core content utilising a mix of presentation, discussion and case study work to ensure that key learning can be applied on the job.
