Co-creation studios will be held, where the module will be designed with the active participation of the trainees. Small groups (around four or five people) will converse together around tables and will be asked to define the content, structure, and delivery mode of the module. There will be three rounds of training:1) “train the trainer” seminars 2) deliver the IPR modules in the form of interactive seminars using case studies in the respective countries 3) develop online IPR repository portal and online support guide on IPR/ one-stop-shop portal for IPR guidance and advice. A simple questionnaire will be developed for trainees. This will measure their satisfaction levels with the training received and their knowledge increase towards using the interactive case studies training. The analysis of the questionnaires will lead to a Lessons Learnt report that can constitute the basis for further improvement of the training or its application and further usability in other countries and regions
