IRF Symposium

The IRF organises an annual symposium inviting international experts from both domains (IP and IR) for an exchange of ideas on specific problems and related solutions.

This yearly event triggers a number of inter-disciplinary working groups focusing on a variety of issues. The scientific results of these working groups and all other projects/experiments submitted during the year are presented on the occasion of the scientific IRF Conference.

In the future, industry will be able to rely on IR research and its institutionalised knowledge transfer for realistic support in the form of practical patent search applications.
