Forty-seven people from the member schools of Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT) and its general management gathered at the Saint-Étienne campus on December 9 and 10.
The staff who support faculty-researchers in the development of scientific projects met for two days at 158, cours Fauriel, in Saint-Étienne.
During various workshops, legal experts, technology transfer and project managers, and administrative and financial managers exchanged with speakers from the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) on concrete issues. They particularly focused on pragmatic solutions to enhance the efficiency of support for institutions establishing partnerships.
“The professionalization of legal aspects is a crucial issue. This seminar in Saint-Étienne is an opportunity to collectively advance discussions on this topic, which is essential for the proper functioning of our schools .”
Jacques Fayolle, Director of Mines Saint-Étienne
Between constructive discussions, shared meals among participants added a touch of conviviality to the event.
