Report on publications, staff exchange, workshops, IPR and technology promotional events M42

Results of the project will be made available to the research community via presentations (Conferences, Universities, workshops etc.) and publications of open-access articles in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Advertisement of CATCH-U-DNA to the general audience will be done through regular publication of articles to journals accessible to the general public. Staff exchange between the project partners will take place on a regular basis. This will be done in order that all scientists, engineers and other staff become aware of each others expertise and of the scientific, technological and market needs related to the project and cancer diagnosis. On a yearly basis, results with potential intellectual property rights (IPR) will be evaluated. The priorities for disseminating activities will be discussed and defined during the first year of the project. Part of our exploitation strategy will be to target potential end-users via publications, presentations and press reports. Major international events such as the Conference on Molecular Diagnostics, microTAS etc. will be attended and technology transfer events will be targeted for further exploitation of the results.
