CALL OF EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Those who would be interested to offer activities for the campaign can express their interest also through organising trainings or webinars, or disseminate key messages through social media, as the campaign can provide visibility for various audiences.

In the context of this campaign the Commission will engage with the Member States and the relevant partners involved in intellectual assets creation and management, in standardisation and more broadly stakeholders in the valorisation of Research & Innovation results. Key partners such as the European Patent Office (EPO), the European Committee for Standardisation and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CEN-CENELEC) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) will join the campaign.

It will also promote sharing of intellectual assets management and standardisation best practices across the EU by offering trainings and peer learning opportunities between R&I actors. Horizon beneficiaries will also be encouraged to use the Codes of practice.

The campaign will include a tour of the EU capitals where events will be organised together with the Member States with the participation of the national, regional and local stakeholders. It will address all Research & Innovation actors: researchers, students, innovators and entrepreneurs in the making, Horizon Europe beneficiaries, research institutions, higher education institutions, standard development organisations, intellectual assets management professionals, and the business environment, as well as civil society associations and citizens, local and regional administrations, and policy makers.
