IPR4SC - targets the lack of intellectual property informatics and management skills, i.e. ‘IP for business’ skills, that are enriched with green, digital and entrepreneurial skills. Their lack can present a barrier to successfully engage in the new (digitally enabled) transitions towards more sustainability and circularity.
The general aim of the project is to increase the innovation - designing and implementing sustainable and circular economy businesses - by boosting IP for business skills.
