Transfer Activities

We transform cutting-edge cleantech and biomass resource efficiency research into tangible value for businesses, public sector organisations and society. We make our laboratories, data, and visualisation tools available to external users. We also run courses, summer schools, and one-to-one, hands-on training sessions. We also convene a biennial scientific conference, as well as regular workshops and seminars, to spark new projects and partnerships.

Our researchers are trained in the transition from research to application and commercialisation, as well as in patent law. We also provide IP/legal support and flexible arrangements for aspiring founders. At the same time, we practise Open Science, making publications and underlying datasets openly available with FAIR metadata. Where physical outputs are shared, material or technology-transfer agreements ensure responsible use.

We measure our impact by how our research moves the needle, for example through new products and services resulting from industry collaboration, better-informed policy on resource efficiency, broader use of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv infrastructure by external experts and faster knowledge flow across the quadruple helix of science, industry, government and civil society.
