Public-Private Partnerships: From Innovation to Participation in a New Business Venture or the Operations of an Existing Company

How can you start a business or help manage one? How can you provide scientific expertise to a company that leverages the results of public research?

The University of Montpellier’s Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics is organizing a presentation on public-private partnerships resulting from the innovation laws—PACTE and LPR—which is open to staff members of the I-SITE Program of Excellence (formerly MUSE) partners upon registration.

In fact, recent legislative changes have created more opportunities for collaboration between the public research sector and the private sector. Public employees are now able to start a business or participate in its creation and provide scientific expertise, provided that the business commercializes public research. In recent years, two laws have simplified these provisions.

A presentation on the various existing programs will be followed by a Q&A session, during which we will answer your questions.
