What the grant funds
Program Description: The U.S. Embassy Athens Public Diplomacy Office (PDS Athens) announces a competition for U.S.-based non-profit organizations to submit applications to carry out a program that will prepare and implement a study tour in the U.S. aiming to strengthen the policies for intellectual property (IP) protection and unauthorized IP technology transfer prevention in Greece and will facilitate the participation of selected Greek R&D researchers in this tour. Priority Region: Greece Program Objectives: The United States supports free, open research and continued collaboration with foreign R&D institutions and individuals, which can result in the development of novel technologies. The proposed study tour program on IP and R&D protection is a capacity building program that aims to assist Greek academic research and development (R&D) institutions to strengthen their policies for intellectual property (IP) protection and unauthorized IP technology transfer prevention. The main goal of the program is to foster engagement between U.S. scientists and administrators and their Greek counterparts to share best practices on establishing robust IP guidelines and mitigating risks associated with technology transfers. The program will select approximately 6-8 Greek academics and/or administrators from relevant Greek public universities and research institutions to travel to the United States and engage with American counterparts and experts in academia, research institutes, and the private sector, among others. Grantee will work closely with the U.S. Embassy for the selection of the program participants and stakeholders both in Greece and the United States. The study visit in the U.S. will be approximately three to five-day long and should include briefings and meetings with U.S. research stakeholders as well as visits to prominent U.S. research institutions. The program will introduce Greek R&D institution representatives to U.S. academic counterparts and government officials, with the goal of sharing best practices on how and why to strengthen IP protections at their research institutions.
