IPR4SC is an Erasmus+ project that aims to address the lack of intellectual property skills for sustainable business and circular economy and thus help reduce globalisation, increase local employment and local resource security. .
The general aim of the project is to increase the innovation capacity of EU inventors, trained in HE and VET organisations, in designing and implementing sustainable business and circular economy by boosting IP for business skills.
HE and VET organisations will provide educational offerings adapted to different target groups, using open resources, and supporting putting IP for business into practice.
