CIP builds, maintains and manages networks of international leaders and experts in the field of knowledge-based business from industry, academia and public actors. These networks supports and interacts to the furthest extent possible with all activities promoted, supported, coordinated or managed by the center and the CIP platform. CIP has an industry partner program with key actors such as Philips, Ericsson and Nestlé, collaborating on multiple levels of education and research activities.
CIP Director, Bowman Heiden, participated in a panel discussion on the recent SEP regulatory proposal in Europe at the Federal Circuit Bar Association event in Milan. He was joined on the panel by Klaus Haft, Axel Ferrazzini, Le Chen, Audrey Scozzaro Ferrazzini, and Otto Licks.
Building on the previous HTB Clinic, CIP is supporting the EPO to build a broader mentoring platform across Europe, which is renamed the IP Business Clinic. We will run two more clinics in 2023 scheduled for Nov. 6-10 and Dec. 4-8. The goal is to create a platform of leading experts at the interface of IP and business strategy to support high-growth technology businesses. We will continue to build partnerships with incubators, science parks, innovation hubs, research centers, patent offices, etc. to support this development.
The Fellowship promotes excellent academic research about IP and related rights in the innovative and creative communities. The program consists of a series of three (3) invitation-only meetings over the course of a year. Fellows are required to attend the entirety of all three roundtables, and attendance is a material condition of a Fellowship. Over the course of these meetings, Edison Fellows work under the guidance of Distinguished Commentators and with each other to turn paper ideas into polished manuscripts publishable in law reviews or other academic journals. The Fellowship is designed primarily for tenure-track professors and for lawyers and Ph.D. graduates interested in academic positions focusing on research in IP, creativity, and innovation. C-IP2 also considers applications from recently tenured academics and from practitioners interested in writing about IP, creativity, or innovation policy.
CIP Director, Bowman Heiden, will speak at the upcoming LES Scandinavia Annual Conference 2023 in Stockholm and the LESI Young Members Congress (YMC) held at Roschier. CIP is very happy to partner with LES Scandinavia and LESI on these events promoting the development of a knowledge-based economy.
Registrations are open for our new event: Making research results work for society which will take place in Brussels on 26 October 2023. This is part of the EU awareness-raising campaign and we created it together with various actors through a public call. It will be a forum to exchange ideas and best practices, award innovative projects and network with players from across the EU. For those who cannot make it to Brussels, they can follow us online.

The European Commission is inviting stakeholders to provide their input on a draft Code of practice on industry-academia co-creation for knowledge valorisation and a draft Code of practice on citizens’ engagement for knowledge valorisation. All interested stakeholders are invited to voice their opinion and fill in the surveys until 20 October 2023.
The two draft codes of practice follow from the Council Recommendation on the guiding principles for knowledge valorisation to provide more concrete and detailed guidance on industry-academia co-creation and citizen engagement to improve knowledge valorisation. The Commission aims to collect further input to the finalisation of the two codes of practice that shall be instrumental to raise awareness and guide research and innovation actors in implementing good practices for effective knowledge valorisation.
