Collaborating with the Technical University of Leoben
Due to its practical focus, the University of Leoben has traditionally been closely networked with industry. Our co-operations range from classic customer-supplier relationships to long-term partnerships in research and development.
Knowledge transfer ranks alongside teaching and research as the third core service process at the Technical University of Leoben. The transfer process is subdivided into three areas: classic transfer (including patent exploitation), the foundation of spin-offs and further education studies in parallel with normal working life.
Technology transfer
The Research & Innovation Service is the transfer office of the Technical University of Leoben. In addition to promoting the transfer of knowledge and technological innovations in the university’s areas of expertise, its main activities include research management, promotional consultancy services and providing professional development opportunities.
As an interface between academia and industry, employees within the Research & Innovation Service understand company requirements, provide access to the university's expert knowledge and technical equipment, and help spread existing knowledge and technologies throughout a wide field of application.
