To patent or not to patent, what to do with inventions from the academic world?
In this workshop, participants will take the time to philosophize and share their experiences in the field of technological development. This is not an informative workshop where you will be passively given important information to help you navigate the complex intricacies of patents, industrial secrets, commercialization or free dissemination of discoveries. On the contrary, if you like to discuss and debate in a framework free of constraints, this workshop is for you!
Activity leaders: Louis-David Beaulieu (UQAC) and François Nougarou (UQTR)

Main conference - May 24, 1:45 P.M.-2:45 P.M.
Title of the conference: "Des pistes pour apprivoiser l’innovation responsable en santé et la mettre en action" (presentation in French)
Abstract : Responsible health innovation aims to guide the development of innovations towards more equitable and sustainable health and social service systems on a social, economic and environmental level. Although many players in the health innovation ecosystem wish to innovate responsibly, it is important to clarify what this actually means in practice. Definitions and examples will be shared. The distinct and synergistic roles of researchers, their partners and public policies in creating value in support of the Quebec health and social services system will be addressed.

Technological breakthroughs for personalized rehabilitation
This activity consists of a large group discussion forum on what technological breakthroughs should be for the implementation of care services aimed at personalized rehabilitation. What technologies do rehabilitation researchers dream of having to meet care needs? What would be the “moonshot projects” that should be put in place?
The activity will be led in the form of a “bullsession”, an informal discussion to exchange ideas collectively. Anyone with ideas or interested in participating or attending the discussions is welcome!
Activity leaders: François Michaud (Université de Sherbrooke), director of INTER
