Information session for researchers

You are a researcher at the Universtiy of Geneva or at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland – Geneva and you would like to find a way of financing or be put in contact with a company in order to transform your innovative research into concrete projects?

That is why, in partnership with the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), the Geneva Creativity Center proposed this special information session for researchers.

At this event, Andréas von Kaenel (Innovation Mentor CTI) presented the CTI and its range of tools, then he detailed the necessary steps of an application. An intervention, linking intellectual property and CTI, by Matthias Kuhn (UNITEC), as well as two testimonials from researchers, complemented the information. All were present to share their experiences and to answer questions.

“The CTI is the federal innovation promotion agency responsible for encouraging science-based innovation in Switzerland by providing financing, professional advice and networks.” www.kti.admin.ch
