This course is designed as a brief practical introduction to the Python programming language, specifically for students with a biological background. It consists of four lectures covering the basics of the programming language, followed by hands-on exercises aimed at understanding specific simple examples of usage and analysis. No prior experience in programming is required; however, the course is intended for students genuinely interested in using Python in their research work. Deliverables: provide students with basic knowledge and a working methodology to further explore programming through more advanced courses and studies.

Proteggere e valorizzare i risultati della ricerca

Dalle novità introdotte con il nuovo codice della proprietà industriale al supporto nella valorizzazione della Ricerca attraverso la nascita e lo sviluppo di start-up e spin-off

Il workshop si delinea sui due aspetti principali della valorizzazione della conoscenza: gli strumenti di tutela e gestione della proprietà industriale e intellettuale, anche a seguito della recente modifica del codice, e le strategie di trasferimento delle invenzioni accademiche al territorio e al mondo produttivo, con particolare focus sull'imprenditorialità accademica.

Il programma affronterà la generazione e gestione dei Diritti di Proprietà Industriale derivanti dalla ricerca, le procedure e i requisiti di brevettazione nell'ambito della ricerca pubblica, l'importanza del trasferimento tecnologico e della valorizzazione della conoscenza per l'impatto sociale, gli approcci alla valorizzazione della Proprietà Industriale d'Ateneo, oltre al ruolo delle imprese start-up e spin-off della ricerca.

Il workshop rientra nelle iniziative, previste dal work package 5 (WP5) dello Spoke 5, rivolte a stimolare azioni di sviluppo imprenditoriale.
