Knowledge and Technology Transfer
NCCR Microbiomes Knowledge and Technology Transfer
To establish solid structures for knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) is a key step towards translating microbiome research into practical applications for society, quality of life and the environment. The NCCR Microbiomes will undertake a number of measures to foster exchange with potential stakeholders and partners. These measures will adress the exchange of knowledge within the NCCR, with the larger scientific community, and with external collaborators. Technology development within the NCCR will be encouraged, and contacts with industrial partners will be promoted.
