Welcome to the Technology Transfer Cell (TTC) at SRM University-AP
The Technology Transfer Cell (TTC) at SRM University-AP was established to effectively manage and commercialise intellectual property (IP) generated by faculty, research scholars, and students. Our mission is to facilitate the transfer of innovative research findings into practical applications that benefit society and drive economic growth. By streamlining IP management and technology transfer processes, we aim to transform groundbreaking inventions into products and services that address real-world needs.
Technology transfer and research commercialisation provide significant benefits across society, industry, and academia. For society, academic research enhances quality of life by developing new products, addressing healthcare issues, and solving environmental challenges. In industry, partnerships with universities bolster innovation, allowing companies invest in emerging technologies and co-develop IP, while universities gain funding, foster long-term collaborations, and enhance research quality, ultimately boosting institutional prestige and generating revenue through licensing.
What We Do?
The Technology Transfer Cell works closely with researchers and industry partners to:
- Protect intellectual property through strategic patenting.
- Identify commercialisation opportunities for innovative technologies.
- Foster collaborations with industries, startups, and investors.
- Facilitate licensing agreements and joint ventures.
Technology Transfer Process
The Technology Transfer Cell works closely with researchers and industry partners to:
The Technology Transfer Cell fosters connections between creators-such as universities and research institutions-in both the public and private sectors. We harness various channels for effective technology transfer and research commercialisation, including:
- Publishing in technical journals and magazines, including open access
- Presenting research findings at conferences
- Preparing and disseminating intellectual property (IP) documentation
- Conducting contract research and fostering R&D collaborations with industry
- Facilitating staff exchanges between academia and industry
- Supporting students and research scholars in transitioning to the workforce
- Offering consultancy services from our university faculty
- Assigning and licensing technology to industry partners
- Encouraging and supporting spin-off ventures
Through these efforts, we aim to translate ideas and innovations from our campus into transformative products, processes, and services.
