Technology Transfer & Research Project Support
In a nutshell
Knowledge and technology transfer are important drivers of innovation, but scientific capabilities and research results do not automatically reach the companies that could benefit from them. We support research organisations and collaborative projects in translating scientific expertise into visible, accessible and industry-relevant offers. Our work can begin during proposal preparation and continue throughout project implementation. We combine experience from academic research, high-technology industry, business modelling and publicly funded research projects with an established network of irradiation facilities, industrial users, academic users and specialists in Radiation Hardness Testing.
Main Target Group
European and national research consortia, universities, research infrastructures, facility networks, technology transfer organisations, public agencies and publicly funded research projects.

Benefits for Clients
We help research projects demonstrate how scientific capabilities and demand as well as support from commercial companies can create practical value beyond the immediate research community. This strengthens the impact, exploitation and industry-engagement dimensions of funding proposals and supports credible implementation after funding has been awarded.
Research organisations benefit from clearer service portfolios, improved visibility and more targeted communication with potential users. Relevant companies and application areas can be identified systematically rather than through unspecific outreach.
Our understanding of both scientific institutions and commercial R&D environments helps bridge differences in terminology, expectations and working practices. Combined with an established network on both the facility and user sides, this supports more effective cooperation and helps turn strategic technology-transfer objectives into practical measures.

Application Example
Between 2019 and 2022, DINI conducted a three-year technology-transfer study funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research within the ErUM programme. The study examined industrial use of university-operated instruments based on particle beams at four large-scale research facilities.
Structured interviews with instrument operators and industrial partners were used to assess previous collaborations, industrial requirements, barriers, success factors and future demand. The project included the development of service portfolios for individual instruments, the identification of companies with potential interest in the available methods and the preparation of measures to increase visibility and attract new industrial partners.
Further activities included concepts for industrial events, conference and trade-fair participation, public presentation of the service portfolios and a business-plan concept for a potential commercial brokerage organisation connecting university groups with industry.
