Free of charge helpdesk on Intellectual Property Rights related issues in EU-funded projects
Your knowledge of the IP issues involved in EU projects just a mouse-click away
Online courses

In this section you will find a series of online modules on Intellectual Property and the EU-funded programmes for research and innovation. The modules are interactive and enable you to circulate freely among the slides so you can repeat some sections and skip others if necessary. This is a simple and friendly way to familiarise yourself with the rules; beginners will see it as a comprehensive introduction and more experienced users as an easy-to-remember overall approach. The quiz at the end of each module will help you test your knowledge of the issues involved.

Finally, in order to solve any doubt on what you have learned you will find a direct access to our Helpline service.
