Technology transfer

The NCCR Microbiomes aims to foster the development of new technologies and industrial applications from all its work packages. To this end, the following measures will be implemented:

• identifying and discussing opportunities resulting from each of the partners’ research within the NCCR Microbiomes
• promoting spin-off activities by NCCR students and collaborators through NCCR grants
• identifying and helping third-party interests and the private sector to associate with NCCR developments
• building strong links with companies and startups with interests in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical or microbiome products
• identifying and managing intellectual property
• holding regular meetings with stakeholders
• fostering managerial soft-skills among NCCR members
