Think about knowledge and technology transfer in good time

Before a research process

Think about who will use the possible results of your research.
Think about whether the results of your work could be of economic benefit. They usually are!
Plan funds, e.g. for patent applications to protect your research results!
Talk to us about your ideas!

During a research project

Use research support services to optimize the applicability of your research results!
Before you make new technologies known to the world, think about possible IP protection!
If you are unsure, contact IP Management with your questions.

At the end of a research project

First protect - then publish! Clarify possible patent protection
with the IP management in good time before publication!
There are often other exciting results that are of commercial interest (software, designs, materials, data).
Would you like to use the results yourself in a start-up
use them yourself? To companies
exploit them or incorporate them into a new
