Lunch and Learn Series

Lunch and Learn Series

The Lunch and Learn program was created to help faculty, staff, students, and post-docs gain understanding of intellectual property, technology disclosures, and commercialization of technology.

Each month the OTT leadership team presents a 30–45-minute presentation about innovation, entrepreneurship, intellectual property, or commercialization for the WVU community held at both the Health Sciences and Evansdale campuses.
