In the workshop, participants work hands-on with an IP register, an invention disclosure form, a background declaration, a publication review checklist, and standard licence clauses. They then adapt a provided template to a sample case. In the
negotiation role play / case study group work, participants work in small groups on a realistic negotiation scenario or case study. They practise drafting and negotiating contract clauses, making informed tradeoffs, and communicating effectively
between academic and industry stakeholders.
