Update: Intellectual property

10 March 2006

With Wellcome Trust support, the Centre for the Management of Intellectual Property in Health Research and Development (MIHR) organised two training workshops to help develop Kenyan capacity in the management of intellectual property and technology transfer.

The first workshop, in January 2006, was aimed at senior research scientists new to intellectual property and technology transfer, while the second, in February 2006, was geared towards the needs of research institute managers.

MIHR is an independent not-for-profit centre based in Oxford. The workshops received Technology Transfer funding from the Wellcome Trust and were run in collaboration with the Medical Research Council of South Africa, the Kenya Medical Research Institute and the Kenya Industrial Property Institute.
