Transfer Stories

Successful transfer of knowledge and technology from research to application

Transfer succeeds when scientific discoveries are applied in practice and become effective in business, society, or administration. The key is close collaboration with partners from industry and society, so scientific insights can be turned into marketable solutions. The focus here is on the targeted transfer of knowledge and technologies from research into real-world applications. Our transfer stories highlight selected examples of how this cooperation drives innovation.
