Hi,

Do you want to learn new skills from intellectual property rights? We all are making and using copyright protected creative works. Inventions play crucial role in creating new business opportunities and are results that should be reported to the funder.

Seize the opportunity by participating in our spring training sessions. We offer both concise webinars and more extensive courses. If you have the study right, you can get credits from them.

Our offering in this fall can be found herehttps://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/get-know-intellectual-property-rights-fall-training-sessions-1.

Four highlights:

1. Copyright and CC Licenses (1 h)

Nowadays, scientific articles and theses are often published under CC, or Creative Commons, licenses. What do they mean? How do I choose the right license for my own work? How should I handle, for example, images made by others in my own work? What rights do I give up as an author?
