UCR Technology Transfer
Technology transfer is one of the most promising forces affecting higher education today. Some see it as a money maker. Some see it as a prestige builder. And still others approach it cautiously.
The Internet search engine "Google," the anti-cancer drug "Taxol," the sports drink "Gatorade" and the diabetes monitoring device "GlucoWatch" are just a few examples of technology transfer - products originating from university research that make it to the commercial sector.
The definition of technology transfer depends on whom you ask, but generally speaking, it is the transfer of new discoveries and innovations, the result of university research, to the commercial sector, according to the Council on Governmental Relations and the Association of University Technology Managers.
