In July 2022, a delegation of transfer managers from KU and UR travelled to Neu-Ulm to benchmark different approaches and business models of university-industry linkages and startup support. The delegates visited various institutions in southern Germany. The comparison enables them to transfer promising approaches to their own context.
In September, project leader Prof. Dr. Thomas Bayer conducted a technology transfer workshop for senior management and a lecturer training in application-oriented teaching and research in Kenya and Rwanda. First, university managers from UR and KU convened in Kigali for an interactive workshop about technology transfer and commercialization of university intellectual property. The three universities exchanged best practices and experiences in the area of technology transfer.
In addition, the delegates visited relevant labs, the incubation center and successfully incubated start-ups.
