Trainings
Explore two learning paths: make generative AI approachable without code, or build a stronger understanding of intellectual property in higher education.
01 / TRAINING
Gen AI Training (No Code) for All
For anyone curious about using generative AI
An accessible introduction to generative AI for people without a coding background. Explore everyday applications, practise writing useful prompts, and learn to review AI-generated work critically.
Topics to explore
- Generative AI fundamentals
- Prompting for everyday tasks
- Accuracy, privacy and responsible use
02 / TRAINING
IPR Training for Faculty and Students of Colleges and Universities
For higher education faculty and students
An introduction to intellectual property rights in an academic setting. Understand the main forms of IP, consider ownership and disclosure of research or creative work, and learn what to review before sharing an idea publicly.
Topics to explore
- Patents, copyright, trademarks and designs
- Research and creative work in academia
- Disclosure and protection considerations
02 / IPR PROGRAM
IPR Training & Faculty Development Programs for Colleges and Universities
IPR training teaches faculty, researchers and students how intellectual property rights such as patents, copyrights, trademarks and designs work and how to protect and use them. LYI runs IPR workshops and Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) for colleges and universities. Colleges and universities produce research, software, designs and creative work every year. Without IP awareness, valuable ideas are published too early, left unprotected or never commercialised. Our programs give faculty and students clear, practical knowledge. They learn what can be protected, how to search and file, how to avoid infringement and how to turn research into real-world impact.
Program options
- 01Faculty Development Programs (FDPs): Multi-day programs covering IPR basics, patent drafting, searching, filing and research commercialisation.
- 02Student workshops: Short sessions on IP awareness, idea protection and avoiding plagiarism and infringement.
- 03Patent search and drafting labs: Hands-on practice with patent databases and application writing.
- 04Institutional IP policy support: Help to create or improve a university IP policy and invention disclosure process.
- 05Technology transfer and startup sessions: Learn licensing, incubation and IP for student startups.
- 06Certificates: Participation certificates for attendees.
