In 2000 Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) has developed the "Innovation Management and Technology Transfer Training" (IMTT) Program and in 2004 the "Research and Innovation Management Training" (RIMET) Program to train scientists, physicians and healthcare managers at CSMC and in Central-Eastern European (CEE) Countries in research and technology transfer management. CSMC believes that it is essential for its partner universities to have the ability to protect the intellectual advances that arise from their laboratories and to negotiate commercially appropriate licensing deals. The IMTTTM and RIMETTM programs educate and train managers in research, innovation management, business development, and licensing to build a robust intellectual property portfolio and incorporate the institutional patent portfolios into a "Joint Patent Portfolio" to connect academic organizations throughout CEE in an "Intellectual Property WarehouseTM".

Scientific work for researchers, women and men equally, is an endless challenge. Determining new markers for early diagnosis of diseases, investigating the maintenance of cell and tissue homeostasis, studying metabolic regulation and dysregulation as well as intra-organ and interorgan crosstalk can be tiresome work and can sometimes seem like the punishment Zeus gave to Sisyphus. Sisyphus, the Greek mythological figure, was condemned to roll a boulder up a mountain but near the top of the mountain the boulder roll down; for eternity Sisyphus was forced to repeat this task over and over. Although scientific research can sometimes seem like this, the cleverness of scientists helps to overcome the "Sisyphus Effect". "I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks" [1]. Sisyphus is a symbol of self-overcoming. Sisyphus was also infamous for his deception though, which had led Zeus to punish him to roll the boulder up a hill that rolled down repeatedly, and Sisyphus had to keep trying again and again for eternity [2]. In the Association for Regional Cooperation in the Fields of Health, Science and Technology (RECOOP HST Association) scientists equally share the burden of Zeus and Sisyphus independently of the status of their X and Y chromosomes.
