The university research enterprise, the catalyst for countless transformative innovations, highlights the promise and potential of American colleges and universities. At the same time, regulatory requirements, geopolitical forces, commercial pressures, and the advent of generative AI pose complex risks to the incredible opportunities for innovation today and into the future. Counsel and research administrators are called upon every day, multiple times per day, to synthesize this body of information and assess leading practices to provide nuanced advice that lights the path forward for scientific advancement and the expansion of human knowledge.
Join us in Washington, D.C. for this comprehensive CLE Workshop – the essential legal and practice update for the higher education research, technology transfer, and innovation community. Workshop sessions will cover a range of important topics such as:
- Research misconduct, conflicts of interests, and government investigations;
- Intellectual property basics, the anatomy of patent litigation, and alternative research funding streams;
- National security and regulatory developments;
- Several facets of generative AI including AI and clinical trials, AI and research misconduct, and the ethics of AI;
- Trends in research agreements, data privacy considerations, and more.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with colleagues, ask questions, discuss issues, and explore varied approaches through small discussion groups.
Who Should Attend?
This is an intermediate to advanced level program. Presenters will presume attendees have some familiarity and experience with sponsored research, research compliance, research security, international research collaborations, and/or technology transfer and commercialization. The workshop content will be most useful to college and university counsel and campus administrators with significant responsibilities for research, technology transfer, and innovation activities.
