M. M. Unterlass:
"Beyond (Basic) Research: Key Factors of Technology Transfer For Researchers";
Talk: Vienna Knowledge Exchange Conference, Wien (invited); 2018-09-27 - 2018-09-28.

The session aims at discussing the motivation of researchers to think beyond the publication of
papers and get involved in technology transfer as well as ways to facilitate and fund the proof of
concept/prototypes. How can universities in general and technology transfer offices in particular
enable and enhance technology transfer? What are key aspects in the view of researchers? What are
the characteristics of effective proof-of-concept/technology development funding programs? How to
streamline the licensing process for startups? What is the aim of executive in residence programs?
The panel members will present examples of their home institutions and discuss best practices
among leading research universities.
