Innovation Management and Technology Transfer
Training (IMTTTM)

• The Central and Eastern European Countries are
• but innovation has not been sufficiently rewarded
  in their transition to the free market system.

• scientifically advanced
• academically oriented

4
Research and Innovation Management
Intellectual property produced by the academic
sector continues to be taken without fair
compensation because the research and academic
communities are not well educated about research
and innovation management.
5
Innovation Management and Technology Transfer
Training Program in the Central and East European
Countries

• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center views this research,
  innovation management and technology transfer
  collaboration as a long-term collaboration which
  is intended to help build and enhance
• innovation management capabilities
• internal expertise
• in Central and Eastern European
• Universities on a fast track.

Partnership with CEE Universities for Innovation
Management and Technology Transfer (IMTT) Training

• In 1998, the US Government and the European Union
  entered into a research collaboration
  arrangement.
• In 1999, Cedars-Sinai started to explore
  potential collaborations with European Medical
  Centers and Biomedical Research Institutes.
• Cedars-Sinai, in conjunction with the EU Research
  and Technology Development Division, developed
  several project proposals.
• Funding for such collaborations could be
  available through the NIH, NSF and the Fogarty
  International Center.

Partnership with CEE Universities for Innovation
Management and Technology Transfer (IMTT) Training

• February 2001, the first meeting between Central
  Eastern European Countries and Cedars-Sinai
  Medical Center took place.
• September 2001, Cedars-Sinai and four Hungarian
  Universities entered into Research and Technology
  Transfer Agreements and new partners from other
  Central European Countries were introduced to the
  project.
• 2003 CSMC implemented the Bridges in Life
  Sciences Program.
• 2002-2005 Cedars-Sinai and additional CEE
  Universities entered into Research and Technology
  Transfer Agreements from Czech Republic, Romania,
  Slovakia and Slovenia.

Innovation Management and Technology Transfer
Training (IMTTTM)

• Bridges in Life Sciences Workshops
• Goals
• Organize a regional networking forum for CEE.
• Enhance research opportunities/adapted to
  changing needs.
• Create new networking structure Bridge to
  create thematic or multidisciplinary networks.
• Innovation management and technology transfer
  training.

Innovation Management and Technology Transfer
Training Program in the Central and East
European Countries

• PHASE 1 Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) in
  2001 has developed the Innovation Management and
  Technology
• Transfer (IMTTTM) Program.
• PHASE 2 In 2005, in order to enhance the
  effectiveness of the project, CSMC implemented
  the Research and Innovation Management Training
  Program (RIMETTM) to train
• scientists
• physicians
• healthcare managers
• for research and technology transfer management.
• PHASE 3 Next step is focused on building
  self-sufficiency of the CEE Universities by
  building a Strategic Alliance and Intellectual
  Property or IP Warehouse.TM

15
PHASE 1

• Strategic Alliance and Networking
• Creation of Patent Portfolio
• Training
• Partners role Equalizing Infrastructure
• CSMCs role Training and Management

16
PHASE 1 Innovation Management and Technology
Transfer Training (IMTTTM)
17
PHASE 1 Innovation Management and Technology
Transfer Training (IMTTTM)

• During the course of the IMTT Program,
  Cedars-Sinai and its CEE partners focused their
  attention on identifying the true training needs
  in the partner universities and institutions. 
• As a part of the IMTT on-site training at the
  universities trainees develop skills that will
  enable them to bring back a set of best
  practices which will fit the organizational
  structure of their university.

PHASE 2 Train the Trainers

• Building Business Strategy
• Creation of Independent Organization
• Training of Partners
• Partners role Independent Technology Transfer
  Management

PHASE 2 Innovation Management and Technology
Transfer Training (IMTTTM)

• In addition, by improving their own competency in
  the area, they can then help other Central
  European Universities to implement Research and
  Innovation Management Programs.
• The need for skilled trainers continues to grow
  in order to meet the challenges and success of
  the Strategic Alliance for Research and
  Innovation Management and IP Warehousing.

22
Phase 3

• Business Enterprise
• Developing Consortium
• Partners role Self Management of Inventions
• CSMCs role Technology Transfer Outsource

PHASE 3 Strategic Alliance with Central
Eastern European Universities

• Building a shared patent portfolio a so called
  IP Warehouse by CSMC and its Central and East
  European partner universities strengthens the
  presence of the partners in the Global Market.
• The strategic alliance allows each partner to
  receive a fair share of value from technologies
  created by the talented researchers and
  scientists throughout Central and East Europe.
