Project Description:

This project focuses on creating the infrastructure needed to create self-sustainable Technology Transfer offices (TTOs) according to a new model that not only focuses on the practical steps to create and run those offices but also on providing legal, licensing, business and innovation training courses to scientists in Higher education institutions (HEIs) in Jordan, the administrative staff in those institutions, and their students.

The long-term aim of the project is to support the creation of "sustainable Technology Transfer Offices in the higher education institutions in Jordan" that are committed to knowledge transfer between universities and industries. Our focus is to further improve the quality of impact of innovative products on the economy and society.

 
The specific aim is to support Jordanian universities in developing their capacities in the area of TT.  There will be specialized training at the EU partner institutions and companies from Jordan to tackle the lack of experience of Jordanian HEI on TT by benefiting from the European HEIs who already have sustainable TTOs.
 
Through collaboration between institutions, the project is expected to deliver reports at the end of each workshop and training seminars, including;
  1. Infrastructure options of TTO offices
  2. Technology Management and IP TTO policy
  3. Personnel and Operational capacities for establishing TTO
  4. Sustainable activities of TTO
  5. Protocols and Timelines for IP contracts, Patenting, and licensing
This project is Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
