Update from DC
The past year has seen actions from Congress, the Administration, and the Courts with potential implications for federal technology transfer (both universities and federal labs). In this session, we will provide a broad overview of some of the more salient items of interest to the FLC community, with a focus on relevant hearings, legislative efforts, and other policy actions. In addition, we will take an in-depth look at the White House Working Group on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, an ongoing action led by the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Economic Council that is focused on developing policies to enhance U.S. innovation and entrepreneurship, including the commercialization of federal laboratory technology.
