Technology transfer and licensing
This pathway expands on the traditional ‘knowledge push’ idea by adding the element of a proactive approach by the RI to communicate, sell or license results and findings of its research activities to suitable recipients. In cases where the end recipients are from the private sector and the developed technology or knowledge is of interest to industry, this pathway links to P7.
