Transfer
One of the CIBER’S main aims is to pass on the knowledge generated by its researchers, so that the results of research are developed in protocols, services and products for improving clinical practice and the quality of people’s life. To this end the Technology Transfer department of the CIBER acts as a link between our researchers and companies, private institutions, public research centres and other innovation agents to make cooperation with these effective and ensure that the results of research can manage to be applied. Work is done in several approaches to achieve this aim:
• Ongoing contact with our researchers to monitor their results and train them in the management of innovation.
Hence, on 29 and 30 November 2016 a Technology Transfer Event was arranged as part of the 30th anniversary of the ISCIII. At this event experts in different fields shared their knowledge on industrial property, business creation, licence processes, venture capital, aid for internationalisation, etc.
• The protection of the results of research and management of cooperation with other agents, as vouched for by the application for patents and signing of licence contracts, amongst other agreements. Over 2016 eleven new applications for patents and a registration for software were presented at the CIBER. Seven inventions are in the patentability study stage and one is being drafted, and they are expected to be presented in early 2017.
Apart from this, eight licence contracts have been signed. In 2016 furthermore, different negotiations expected to end successfully in the first quarter of 2017 were got under way.
At CIBERDEM there are two inventions in the initial patentability study and the patents are expected to be presented in early 2017.
