Theopen innovation today plays a relevant role in the development of competitiveness of the Italian entrepreneurial fabric. The management of innovation from the laboratories to the market, however, requires the creation of new transversal skills - of a legal, managerial, financial, economic and social nature - that can put in place actions capable of weaving the local and global networking of people, groups, businesses and institutions.

In order to meet the growing demand for transversal skills, since 2015 the Ministero delle Imprese e del Made In Italy has promoted the establishment of the inter-athenaeum 2nd level Master's degree in Open Innovation & Intellectual Property. Realised in agreement between the Università di Torino, through the SAA School of Management, and theUniversità Luiss Guido Carli, through the Luiss Business Schooll, the Master will be presented and discussed by its Directors, with the contribution of I3P representatives and key players of the Turin ecosystem, during the Open Day to be held on Tuesday 30 January at 5:00 pm in the Sala Agorà of I3P.

The Executive Master's programme, now in its 9th edition, is designed to meet the growing demand for qualified professionalism of those working in the world of open innovation and intellectual property protection management. The programme provides the skills to study the entire life cycle of innovation from idea conception, creation, protection, to commercial exploitation and anti-competitive uses. It provides targeted training for managers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who wish to acquire new skills to be more competitive in the world of work. There is also the funding of 20 scholarships of 7,000 euro to partially cover the fee by the Patent and Trademark Directorate of the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy.

How to participate

The Open Day on Tuesday 30 January, which will provide an opportunity to learn more about the Master's programme and its educational offer and the steps needed to enrol and benefit from the available facilities, will be hosted by I3P.
