Sažetak
A modern world history of productive forces belongs to the mutual promotion of scientific discoveries, technical innovations and industrial revolution as a result of their implementation. Engineering sciences and technology are the bridge linking science and the industry supporting development and production. Croatia's intellectual capital is an asset that needs to be better valorized to develop the country's economy and industry. A crucial part of this process is development of a strong national R&D infrastructure. This necessitates the forging of working links between public administration, research institutes and indigenous industries to facilitate the commercialization of intellectual property from the research sector to the industrial sector. Addressing this process, series of projects were facilitated awareness of IP issues by targeting scientists and researchers, students in law, business engineering and other disciplines as well as Croatian industries. It is important to develop curriculum for IP teaching at the universities and present a balanced view to students which could equally apply to the intellectual property. The role of engineering academies and Croatian Academy of Engineering as their part in the collaboration on the development and usage in IPPR is of great importance as well as its role in IP education in continuing professional development and lifelong learning.
