The
BIO-EARN Programme through its Policy project
inaugurated a ten (10) member team nominated from the
institutions involved in BIO-EARN Programme activities
in the four countries. The team throughout the Programme
is entrusted with the responsibility to:
-
Advise
and assist in setting up institutional Intellectual
Property/Technology Transfer (IP/TT) policies and
offices;
-
Secure
institutional consensus leading to signing of
Alliance Agreements and Material Transfer
Agreements, monitoring their compliance and conflict
resolution;
-
Support
and advise the BIO-EARN R4D projects on IP/TT
matters;
-
Organize
and manage capacity building at institutional level
to strengthen IP/TT structures.
During
the meeting the group unanimously elected Mr Antony S.
Mbayaki from
Moi
University
and Dr Ethel O. Monda from
University
of
Nairobi
as the chairperson and alternative chairperson
respectively.
It
is hoped that this group will greatly help in
identification and management of IP and linking
technologies to potential users thus enhancing
technology transfer.
