Guidelines for Submissions
The INNOVATION 2011 Program Committee is looking for topics that are timely and appeal to a wide range of audiences, including technology and industry engagement practitioners, industry looking to partner with academic and public-sector research, and generally those involved in developing policies and practices supporting Canada’s Innovation Ecosystem. Topics such as those related to industry/academic/public sector partnerships, startups and gap funding, IP trends, and successful practices in IP, licensing and marketing, as well as the nuts and bolts of intellectual asset management and operations, are encouraged. We cannot accept topics that are of a commercial nature (sales pitches, advertizing, etc).

ACCT Canada’s highest priority is to strengthen Canada’s innovation ecosystem by facilitating such conferences and meetings among those interested in mobilization, transfer, translation and diffusion of newly discovered knowledge and inventions resulting from academic and private sector research and development investments.
