As corporate interest in partnering with universities rises, so does the need for high-quality master research agreements (MRAs).

This type of agreement dramatically speeds the initiation of specific projects, reduces duplicate work and saves time and headaches for university and corporate staff, clearly sets out the obligations of both parties, and helps cement long-term, productive partnerships.

But negotiating an MRA is no easy task. It is a thorough and deliberate process and you must address terms and conditions that are — and will be — applicable to each project over time, while also providing wiggle room for project-specific issues to be addressed later. This is made even more difficult when projects are ongoing and outcomes are unknown.

The goal is a win-win agreement with your corporate partner/sponsor. So how do you draft an MRA that suits the needs of both parties?

This eye-opening program led by global R&D advisor and attorney James Casey will leave you with a greater understanding of the purpose of MRAs and best practices for solidly written agreements that will stand the test of time.
