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 join Danielle Byrdsongi to learn about 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.

Ever wanted to pen a novel, code a video game or mobile app?

Maybe you are an artist or an architect?

Copyright issues affect musicians, photographers, and software programmers alike. As such, copyrights offer a unique and fun look at the protection of your creative works of authorship whether developed at MIT or elsewhere.

Join Daniel Dardani, Technology Licensing Officer and IP expert for an overview of copyright law, its history, common use, and its relevance to the MIT Community as a type of intellectual property. Daniel will explore issues such as: the nature of originality, the doctrine of fair use, how copyrights function in the digital age, and more. All are welcomed. No prior knowledge of the law or IP is required.

This event is co-sponsored by the MIT Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS)
