Are You In or Out? An Overview of the Material Transfer Process @ MIT
Rupinder Grewal, Stanley O. King II
Wed Feb 1, 12-01:30pm, 56-162

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

The transfer of materials into and out of MIT is steadily increasing each year. Moreover, the providers and recipients for these materials are diversifying. Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) are legal contracts that ensure all parties are permitted to send and receive biological materials, chemical compounds, and other materials. MTAs protect MIT’s intellectual property and freedom to publish, and MTAs record the terms and conditions for the use of the materials. Come and hear members of the Technology Licensing Office discuss MIT's material transfer process. Gain a better understanding of MTAs, MIT’s procedures and policies for MTAs, and how to get your materials expeditiously. Please register at: http://tlo.mit.edu/iapevents
