Welcome to the Physical Sciences Sector (formerly CEEM)

To enhance the LES membership experience, CEEM is rebranding to Physical Sciences. If your work involves licensing or IP in Environmental Sciences, Chemicals, Physics, Earth Sciences, Manufacturing, Energy, Materials, or other physical sciences or engineering areas, you will find a home in the new Physical Sciences Sector.

• We will provide our membership with educational opportunities focused on intellectual asset commercialization, technology transfer best practices, and legal and regulatory issues as they relate to licensing, technology development (open innovation, research, and development), acquisition, and divestiture in the Physical Sciences sector marketplace.
• The vehicles we will use to educate include workshops at Licensing Executives Society (LES) meetings, conferences, and webinars, and publication of articles in les Nouvelles, Viewpoints, and on our website.
• We will provide a variety of networking forums for the promotion of technology transfer and relationship building and to promote LES as the key organization for these interactions.
• We will attract diverse membership from all Physical Sciences related industries as well as support industries (legal, consulting, venture capital, and universities) to facilitate networking, education, and be a catalyst for deal making all within our sector and with the other LES industry sectors and committees as appropriate.
• We will promote cross-sector relationships and activities within LES where such relationships and activities are mutually beneficial to the Physical Sciences and other sectors and especially to LES (U.S.A and Canada) and LESI.

This sector meets monthly on the 2nd Thursday from 2pm - 3pm ET.  If you would like to be added to the meeting invitation, please contact sectors@les.org.
