APE-INV - The ESF-funded project on Academic Patenting in Europe
“Name Game” workshop, PARIS - November 25-26, 2009
An important step towards building the APE-INV database consists in cleaning and standardizing the information on inventors we can derive from patent data. The “Name Game” workshop aims at convening as many researchers as possible with experience in this field, so that they can share their methodologies and possibly reach a consensus on how to harmonize their future efforts. It will be hosted by OST, the Observatoire des sciences et des techniques, and organized (among others) by myself and Patrick Llerena (BETA-Univ. of Strasbourg).
Participation to the workshop is on invitation only. We plan to have around 10 presentations of one hour each (including discussion), and a technical meeting for deciding the way forward.
If you have not received an invitation, but would like to attend please contact Ms Giulia Tarantola.
