EU. Call for proposals recently published
Upon the experience of a pilot action, and two projects funded by the European Commission under the Fifth and Sixth Framework Programmes (2002-2005 and 2005-2007 respectively), already leaded by the University of Alicante, IPR-Helpdesk is today part of a new action: "IP Awareness and Enforcement: Modular Based Actions for SMEs", project funded by DG Enterprise and Industry under the CIP Programme.
The project consortium is made up of 26 partners, 19 National Patent Offices and the rest composed by entities of a different nature, all coordinated by the University of Alicante, which also runs IPR-Helpdesk in full.
The main objective of the IPR-Helpdesk is to assist potential and current participants in EU-funded research and technological development projects as well as innovation projects on intellectual property (IP) matters. SMEs and public research organisations are IPR-Helpdesk´s main target users.
