Knowledge transfer office @SSSA

U.O. ValorizzazioneRicerca


7/32

The Knowledge Transfer Office at SSSA works together with researchers with the specific

aims ofexploitation of research results. Its general objectives are tobring research results to

industrial applications and to foster activities within the so-called third mission of

universities.

Knowledge transfer office @SSSA

IP scouting of newideas/technologies;

IP rights protection and

management;

patent search

licensing of SSSA IP; marketing of new technologies,

economic and financial analysis

and strategic planning;

Spin-off companies scouting of new business ideas

promote creation through

internal awareness,

streamlined procedures,

support services;

offering of several services anda network of strategic

relationships (e.g. marketing,

financial partners);

Third Mission assistance in reviewing IP

issues in research contracts

with companies;

support for institutional and

external relations, both

national and international; encouragement and support of

joint labs;

training in entrepreneurship

and patenting fields


8/32

Collaborative research Contracts:

EU projects, joint labs, PhD Scholarhips, etc. (long terms, strategic goals)

Exploitation Contracts:

patents licensing and/or selling for lump-sum, royalties or development

contracts

Training activities collaborations:Funding of Master Programmes on jointly defined subjects (e.g. first Master

course in Innovation Management in Italy)

Placement activities

Research and training activities contracts:short term and specific technical training needs

Collaborations with companies@SSSA


9/32

Licensing @SSSA

Direct Licensing: along with other researchers,

through business partners (spin-offs, project partners,

local businesses)

Licensing through: SSSA has established an

agreement with a company (MITO S.r.l.) for

promoting the licensing of five patents

Internal procedures: for the assignment of patents of

SSSA to third parties (approval by the Board of CVR,revision of the agreement and monitoring of

revenues and contract and expiry dates)


10/32

Support to IP management

- UVR provides support to the Institutes andcooperate with the Legal Department for the

drafting of the clauses relating to the aspects of IP,

particularly in contracts research with third parties

- usually companies and other agreements(NDAs, MTAs)

- UVR has drawn up some templates of agreements

and evaluates the draft of the agreements trying

to find the most appropriate solution to protect

the interests of researchers

Networking and collaborations

Collaborations between SSSA and its national or international partners,allow:

sharing of good practices

creation of a broader portfolio contacts

synergy for concerted action ( institutions, governments, etc.)

UVR of SSSA is part of regional (ILONOVA), national (NETVAL) and

international (PROTON) networks for TT

UVR has contacts with the local chambers of commerce, business

incubators, science parks, etc..

UVR has created a database for the relationships with companies (contractresearch, licenses, etc.)

National Network on Technology Transfer

NETVAL

www.netval.it

Italian TT Association of Universities and Public Research Organizations for the valorization

of results from public research. Founded in 2002 and Association since 2007

MISSION: to be theresearch interface for Ministries and local administrations, industrial

associations and industries, venture capitalists and financial bodies to promote the role ofpublic research in innovation processes

OBJECTIVES

protection and exploitation of research results from public research through education,

dissemination, patenting, licensing, public-private cooperation and start up promotion

improvement of links between universities and companies to enhance research results

based on industrial competitiveness (networking, managing research and know how,

contract tools, joint labs)

generation of new companies from public research

Wave Energy Main Project

Materialscharacterization andModelling

Test-bench Wave-Tank testing

We are developing on a new class of wave energy converters that are based on rubber-like materials that are able to directly convert oscillating mechanical energy into

electricity.

These new materials, called Dielectric Elastomers presents extremely promising attributesin terms of costs, energy density and enable new perspectives in producing generatorsthat are low-cost, reliable and highly efficient irrespective of the solicitation frequencies.


24/32

irborne Wind Energy

Airborne Wind Energy is an emerging sector in wind energy. The challenging goal is toharvest wind energy at high altitude (not reachable by traditional wind turbine). This is

achieved through autonomous flying tethered kites. This techniques is extremelypromising for the low-cost and the prospected high efficiency of the systems.

Collaborations:

Kitegen S.r.l., Sequoia Technology, Delft U.

Activities:

- Modelling of AWE converters

- Design of Offshore systems

- Aerodynamic cable design
