About event
Around the world, universities are hubs of innovation, paving the way for groundbreaking research to reach society. TU Wien is a key driver in the Austrian innovation ecosystem, offering dedicated service units that support scientists throughout their research journey. Join us to discover the various support structures at TU Wien and learn how they assist researchers in advancing their work.
Participating Departments
Service Unit of Research and Transfer Support & Service Group Patent and License Management
Research and Transfer Service Unit supports individual scientists and research teams at TU Wien in various research and transfer activities.
A major aim of TU Wien's social mission is the transfer of its research-based knowledge and competence to society for public benefit. Another essential objective of Research and Transfer Service Unit's activities is the national and international positioning of TU Wien as an excellent research institution.
Scientific research and development at TU Wien often forms the basis for novel, innovative products or processes that can be used in a variety of fields. In the implementation of the often still basic research results into an actual product, securing the research results and the rights of TU Wien and its inventors is one of the decisive steps.
The crucial document for this purpose is the invention disclosure form, which must be completed, signed, and sent to Research and Transfer Support.
This also includes inventions generated during collaborations with the industry and other research institutions.
The staff members of Patent and Licence Management provide support to inventors of TU Wien in filing patent applications and in patent management, as well as in the implementation and exploitation of inventions.
