For Academic Staff

Your science has the power to change the world. We help you realize that impact.

Science and research are the heart of UJEP. However, the best ideas often remain within publications because the path to their practical application is administratively and legally demanding. The Centre for Technology and Knowledge Transfer (CTTZ) exists to remove this barrier. We take responsibility for the commercial and legal aspects of the transfer, allowing you to remain in the lab or the field and focus on what you do best.

What CTTZ provides for you:

1. Intellectual Property (IP) Protection

The security of your idea is our priority. We provide expert advice on patents, utility models, and know-how protection.

  • Strategic Timing: We help you set up a methodology to prevent premature disclosure of information that could jeopardize future patent protection.
  • IP Management: We ensure the central management of intellectual property at UJEP in accordance with the university’s internal regulations.

2. Research Commercialization and Market Valuation

We identify results with real market potential and propose the optimal path for their valuation.

  • Strategy Selection: We help you decide whether a license sale, contract research, or the establishment of a spin-off company is more suitable for your result.
  • Professional Negotiation: We lead negotiations on license agreements to ensure fair conditions for both you and the university.

3. Spin-off and Entrepreneurship Support

Do you have the ambition to develop your research through your own business? We will be your mentor.

  • Incubation: We offer legal, commercial, and administrative services for establishing spin-off companies.
  • Capital: We connect you with verified investors and partners from the application sphere.

4. Cooperation with Industry and the Application Sphere

We act as your business representative. We find companies that need your solutions and assist with the administration of contract research.

5. Competence Development and Motivation

We believe in the growth of your skills. We organize specialized workshops, training in “pitching” (presenting ideas), and market analysis.

  • Revenue Sharing: We establish transparent incentive systems so that you have a direct share in the financial proceeds of successful commercialization (in line with meta-analyses on the effectiveness of university transfers, which show that clearly defined royalty-sharing models increase innovation performance by 34%).
