Get to know intellectual property rights in fall training sessions
Intellectual property rights (IPR) may seem distant in academia, but in reality we deal with them every day. Each of us produces and uses copyrighted works, such as computer programs, images, databases and texts. In addition, research creates inventions that can be patented and act as a catalyst for new businesses.
Would you like to learn more about IPR? We offer both intensive webinars and more extensive courses. All of these are part of Uniogs' course offering, so you can get credits from these trainings. You can participate in all trainings remotely.
Come and gain important working life skills that you can use in your own work.
