UniTransfer - Knowledge Exchange and Transfer Office
With a science-based and society-oriented approach, UniTransfer supports researchers and university staff in developing, implementing, and raising the profile of their knowledge exchange and transfer activities. At the same time, UniTransfer serves as a low-threshold point of contact for stakeholders from business, civil society, and politics, promoting exchange between the university and the public. With a broad understanding of knowledge exchange and transfer and clear offerings, UniTransfer strengthens productive collaborations, supports societal transformation processes, and helps ensure that scientific findings have an impact—and that societal issues are incorporated into research and teaching.
