such as IP offices, IP policies and strategies. This has
improved knowledge and access to IP support services
such as information on patenting, material transfer, IP
policies and regulations, research and collaborative
agreements by scientists in the BIO-EARN R4D.
Opportunities for scientists to forge new partnerships
for product development and dissemination have been
enlarged Background
