Transfer
One of the CIBER’s main objectives is to transfer the knowledge generated by its researchers in order to ensure that its research results can be developed in protocols, services and products for improving clinical practice and people’s quality of life. The CIBER Technology Transfer department thus acts as a liaison between its researchers and companies, private institutions, public research centres and other innovation agents to make sure that cooperation with them is effective and that the results of research are actually implemented. Work is done in several approaches in order to achieve this aim:
