Summer School on Data and Algorithms for Science, Technology & Innovation studies: 16-18 September 2020

[EPO / PATSTAT Support]

To all PATSTAT users,

The fifth edition of the “Summer School on Data and Algorithms for Science, Technology & Innovation studies” will as planned take place between 16-18 September at KU Leuven (Belgium).
Some of you participated last year, when the event (as well as the PATSTAT user day) took place at EPO premises in Vienna. Not all presentations on this years' program are “patent or PATSTAT related”, but many of the researchers do make use of patent data bases - for which the EPO is the data supplier.
“Corona” has thrown a bit of sand in the machinery, and the organising committee has decided to host the event virtual as well as physical (at the KU Leuven). It is planned that the whole event will be available via ZOOM sessions – which is a good solution in view of the current travel restrictions.
The program also includes a short introduction course on PATSTAT for which you can register via this seperate link

If you are interested to follow (some of) the summer school presentations, kindly register via the link below.
