COST Academy is organizing two webinars on the topics of Intellectual Property (IP) and Standardisation. The topics are closely related and relevant to the work of many COST Actions. The webinars are therefore organised with the specific target group of COST Action participants in mind, and will be delivered by the European IP Helpdesk and CEN and CENELEC. Tthe level of both webinars will be introductory. Please note that it is possible to register for one or both webinars.
