Applications open for 2018 Tech Transfer Boot Camp

The 2018 Technology Transfer Boot Camp is scheduled for Aug. 6-10, and the application process is now open.

Entering its fourth year, the Tech Transfer Boot Camp is aimed at scientists and students that are interested in what it takes to commercialize a new invention or discovery. The weeklong event can also serve as fast-track toward an alternate career in science as a technology transfer professional.

The training program helps scientists gain a wide range of skills and experience that match their scientific knowledge and training.

The program will focus on several key areas relevant to a successful career in technology transfer, including:

• Invention evaluation;
• Intellectual property law;
• Marketing and commercialization; and
• Contract negotiation.

UNeMed’s Tech Transfer Boot Camp will dive deeper than simple lectures. Topics wills be explored with hands-on activities meant to teach, correct and reinforce new skills and abilities.

Anyone within the University of Nebraska system is encouraged to apply and participate free of charge, but space is limited. People who aren’t affiliated with the University of Nebraska also are welcome, but will be charged $200 upon acceptance.

Applications will be accepted through July 30 and will be reviewed in the order they are received until all spaces are filled.
