By implementing this project, the partners will contribute to the overall objectives of reducing economic and social disparities within the European Economic Area and strengthening bilateral relations between Czech education and Norwegian education in the field of technology transfer and intellectual property protection and spin-off settings. Results at the bilateral level and cooperation will lead to improved mutual knowledge and understanding, and the partnership will have a significant impact on wider cooperation.
