Technology Transfer
One of the CIBER’S main objectives is to transfer the knowledge generated by its researchers, so that their research results can be developed in protocols, services and products for improving clinical practice and people’s quality of life. For this purpose the CIBER Technology Transfer department acts as a link between our researchers and companies, private institutions, public research centres and other innovation agents to make cooperation with them more effective and ensure that the results of research are actually applied. Work is done in several lines in order to achieve this aim:
• Continuous contact with our researchers to monitor their results and train them in innovation management.
• On 29 and 30 November 2016 a Technology Transfer Session was organised to this end as part of the 30th anniversary of ISCIII. At this event experts in different areas shared their knowledge on industrial property, company creation, licencing processes, venture capital, grants for internationalisation, etc...
