What is Technology Transfer?

The OIPSR is firmly committed to the utilization of Laboratory developed technology and technical capabilities to the benefit of industry and state and local governments. Such technology utilization can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Brookhaven encourages exchanges of personnel between the Laboratory and industry, as well as cost shared cooperative research efforts with industry. Industry sponsored research and industry use of Brookhaven's designated user facilities provide access to the Laboratory' s unique research expertise and facilities.

The Laboratory's active patent licensing program is a further tool to accomplish commercialization of Brookhaven developed technology. The Office of Intellectual Property and Sponsored Research will work to match specific market-driven needs of individual companies with appropriate technologies from Brookhaven National laboratory.
