Technology Transfer Technology transfer (TT) is the process of transferring scientific findings from one organization to another for the purpose of further development and commercialization. The process typically includes identifying new technologies, protecting technologies through patents and copyrights and forming development and commercialization strategies such as marketing and licensing to existing private sector companies or creating new startup companies based on the technology.
Academic and research institutions engage in TOT for a variety of reasons, such as recognition for discoveries made at the institution, attraction and retention of talented faculty and industry partners, local economic development or licensing revenue to support further research and education.
At
CINTESIS, we have an enduring commitment to actively developed research, scientific dissemination and technology transfer activities in Health, particularly in the fields of Clinical and Health Services, Ageing and Neuroscience, Diagnosis, Disease and Therapeutics and Data and Methods.
Accordingly, we are promoting a series of
events that aim at tackling the obstacles researchers face in this process. Be sure to participate!
