New partners sought to write training materials
The European Commission and the European Patent Office have agreed to run another two year project, intending to increase the range and reach of existing ip4inno teaching materials. New modules are proposed, as well as updates, translations and e-learning versions, as listed in the Description of Work.
New and former partners are now invited to bid to provide new or updated teaching materials on a range of applied IP topics. All such teaching material should fit defined learning goals and come with full notes for a teacher who might not be an IP expert himself/herself. An excerpt from module 5B is provided here to show what is required for speaking notes. Applications should be made on this form by the deadline of 7 May 2010.
