The WBC-INCO.NET event will address opportunities and framework conditions for the commercialisation/valorisation of research results (products to markets), with special focus on the AgroFood sector of the WBC.

The following topics will be covered: 

• Intellectual Property Rights,
• Standardisation,
• Support structures such as the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN),
• Funding possibilities and others.

The workshop will discuss results of selected SEE-ERA.NET PLUS - JERPS (Joint European Research Projects) in view of their valorisation/ commercialisation potential, and will foster the exchange of information so as to deepen knowledge of researchers / JERP coordinators from the Western Balkan countries by inputs from external experts on specific questions and topics. 

Topics raised during the SEE-ERA.NET PLUS Vienna interim monitoring meeting (April 2012) and in the online survey done by the project coordinator will be considered in order to discuss and encourage the scientific and technological cooperation between researchers and practitioners as for the valorisation of research results; as well as to faciltate  networking between JERP project partners and representatives from the industry

The event will take place back to back with the 80^th International agriculture fair Novi Sad being the most visited fair in the Region, and thus will benefit from its networking potential and visibility. The planning and organisation phase is still in progress. More details will be made available as soon as possible.
