CUE, ULethbridge and the U of A announce free intellectual property and commercialization micro-credentials

Concordia University of Edmonton partnered with the University of Lethbridge and the University of Alberta to develop a suite of online micro-credential courses to help entrepreneurs, students, researchers, and business professionals understand how to protect their ideas and turn them into marketable innovations.

The Government of Alberta has been helping researchers, entrepreneurs, and industries build the province for over a century. With the help of a provincial grant and the in-depth knowledge of subject matter experts, the University of Alberta, Concordia University of Edmonton, and the University of Lethbridge have collaboratively developed a three-course series focused on Intellectual Property.

The courses, which can be taken together or individually, help learners gain the knowledge they need to help secure and grow the value of their innovations.

The courses include: 

• Intellectual Property Strategy and Management
• Intellectual Property Forward Mindset – Recognition and Commercialization
• The Patent Pathway – From Idea to Intellectual Property Protection

The self-paced courses are hosted by our partner, the University of Alberta, and are free to the public for a limited time. 

More information about the micro-credential courses and other continuing education programs that Concordia University of Edmonton offers can be found at concordia.ab.ca/continuing-education 

Thank you to the Government of Alberta for funding this initiative to grow innovation and Intellectual Property capacity across the province.
