• Clear guidance and criteria for validation

• Showing good and bad examples

• Cookery-book for the steps of the transfer process

• Matching inventions with applications

• Presentation of new methods from a very immature stage

and end users. The Forum event and the Forinvitox web

site could work as useful platforms.

• Training and/or easily accessible advice on technology
