2012 Tuanku Ja'afar Law Conference and Workshop on Academic Entrepreneurship and University Start-Ups
The role of universities in national and regional economic development has been well acknowledged by policymakers.The euphoric advent of academic entrepreneurship contributed to meaningful changes in how universities commercialize academic research and promotes entrepreneurial activities within campus. But as is often the case, it carries with it the temptation to gloss over important issues like material transfer agreement, delays in publication and the general criticism against university commercialization.
Jointly organised by the Faculty of Law, UKM (FUU); the Centre for Entrepreneurship and SMEs Development, UKM (CESMED) and Institute of West Asian Studies, UKM (IKRAB) - 2012 TJLC gathers experts from academia, entrepreneurs, government and industry to exchange ideas and debate emerging issues in academic entrepreneurship and university start-ups.
