About the Programme

Innovation is the seed of an enterprise in today’s world. Very often innovation lurks in activities which appear to be extremely routine and remains undetected because of the common notion of associating innovation with a product rather than a process. An introspection, therefore, is imperative to find out what is innovative in what one does routinely and if there exists something innovative, what is its business potential. Patentability follows as a natural corollary.

The Energy sector in this country, and also worldwide, is passing through a rapid and dynamic shift from the conventional to the renewables energy resources, warranting new technologies and game-changing innovations cutting across the conventional fields of mechanical, electrical and power engineering and the allied areas. The need for identifying the scopes and prospects of innovative ideas in the energy sector cannot therefore be overemphasized.

With this idea, the Department of Power Engineering and School of Nuclear Studies & Application, Jadavpur University, aims to organize a Faculty Development Program titled Patenting Technology and Process innovations Related to Renewable Energy from February 17th to 22nd, 2021 where field experts will disseminate the importance and role of innovations in the rapidly transitioning energy sector. The program will also involve patent facilitators sharing their expertise to present a framework to faculty researchers in the domain of Power and Energy so that they can identify innovations in their ongoing research works - be it something as routine as a load flow study or an energy audit. This will also be a forum where experienced researchers will also present their research as case studies to the development of novel materials for sustainable energy solutions. The webinar series will end with an interaction session with patent facilitators and experts managing university-based technology transfer.
