Debbie:

I was just staring at it in disbelief.

It does say that you would "be asked" to agree to in at registration.  I wonder what happens to the folks who refuse it.  Do they get into the workshop?

Has anyone else read the "General Promotional Release Form" that one has to agree to in order to register?  Very interesting for a contract negotiations workshop!

Subject: [RESADM-L] UIDP Workshop

The University - Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP -
www.uidp.org) is pleased to announce the next Negotiation Agreement Workshop that will be held in conjunction with the Fall 2013 UIDP Meeting in Moline, Il.  These Workshops showcase leading approaches and strategies useful in negotiating sponsored research agreements in specific sectors, provide an excellent training opportunity for newer and experienced  university and industry negotiators alike to gain valuable insight and skills relevant to their interface, provide strategies that are based on the UIDP Contract Accords, and discuss new and bold approaches for high value university - industry partnerships.

The Workshop is highly interactive with a collegial atmosphere that will use a panel approach to exploring scenarios representative of industry-university collaborations focusing on the broad range of issues described in the UIDP Contract Accords.  The scenarios will address projects involving product and process development as commercial endpoints as well as process development for use in the manufacturing of products. The Workshop will identify negotiation sticking points that normally occur and provide perspectives on strategies and best practices that can be deployed to facilitate timelier conclusion of negotiations. The Workshop is limited to approximately twenty - five (25) participants in order to maximize the amount of dialogue that takes place during the workshop.

Registration is open online at http://www.conf.purdue.edu/uidp17/.
Separate, advance registration is required to attend the Workshop.
