Laboratory to Launchpad: Bringing Your Energy IP to Life

Register

As the global energy landscape changes, groundbreaking research in energy storage, alternative fuels, and infrastructure offers hope for strengthening domestic energy supplies in both the near and long term.

However, how much of this groundbreaking research only exists in the annals of journals as opposed to private and public industries? The Laboratory to Launchpad Conference at Johns Hopkins University will offer meaningful insights into the evolving nature of research translation and equip attendees with the tools they need to turn their work into impactful products.

With a host of options for learning about grant writing, public speaking, project management, and mentorship, researchers are trained to gracefully navigate the scientific community. But what does it look like to move to the next step after research funding is secured? When is the right time to file intellectual property? What does it mean to license technology? What does it take to spin off a company? How are we preparing researchers to present and sell their high-impact work to the public at large and make meaningful change in the world through their discoveries?

This one-day workshop will not only spark conversation around the transition of energy-related technologies but also will offer attendees actionable tools and strategies for commercializing their work.

The Laboratory to Launchpad Conference is made possible by a Nexus Convening grant from the Johns Hopkins University Provost’s Office. This event is co-sponsored by the Carey Business School, the Whiting School of Engineering, and the Applied Physics Lab.
