The Technology Transfer Interface

Technology transfer and valorization of research results cover a very wide range of interactions between the university and society. The Technology Transfer Interface is the gateway between the university’s research & expertise and industry.

The Technology Transfer Interface is part of the R&D Department and consists of a multidisciplinary team of experts on technology transfer, business consultancy, contract negociation, scientific funding, legal and IP issues, event organization and communication. They provide follow-up and advice to researchers at every phase of a collaboration with third parties.

The Technology Transfer Interface is governed by the Commission for Knowledge, Innovation and Technology Transfer (KITT).
Comprising experts from both academic and corporate environments, the KITT Commission’s premium mission is to develop a sustainable business policy at the university and to support individual technology transfer dossiers based on interdisciplinary knowledge and daily life experiences.

As such, the Technology Transfer Interface is not only your gateway to an industrial contact, but also your personal contact point for assistance and more information on many aspects of technology transfer:

• Finding the right funding for your applied research project
• Protection and publication of knowledge & IP strategy
• Professional support for industrial valorization, contract research and negociations
• The creation of spin-off companies
• The organization of events focused on knowledge exchange and education
