Knowledge and technology transfer as well as innovation promotion are always subject to exchange and communication processes, whereby the different motivations and objectives of those involved as well as the specific instruments must be taken into account.
Central challenges exist at this interface:
- Concretising the questions of potential user groups
- Translation of the tasks into the scientific context
- Translation of the research results into the practical impact environment
- Organisation of the connection to the requirements, culture and working tools of the respective recipients (e.g. industrial property rights, etc.)
- Improving the visibility and measurement of transfer activities at the centre
The basis of our actions is the GFZ transfer strategy developed and adopted in 2021.
