Tech Transfer Boot Camp

The 2022 Technology Transfer Boot Camp will be held Aug. 8-12.

Tech Transfer Boot Camp is aimed at scientists and students interested in what it takes to commercialize a new invention or discovery. The week-long event can also jump-start an alternate career in science as a technology transfer professional.

The program helps scientists gain a wide range of skills and experience that match their scientific knowledge and training.

Boot Camp focuses on several key areas relevant to a successful career in technology transfer, including:

- Invention evaluation
- Intellectual property law
- Marketing and commercialization
- Contract negotiation

The five-day program will be 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., beginning Monday, August 8. Anyone at UNMC or UNO is encouraged to apply and participate free of charge. Those not affiliated with UNMC or UNO are also welcome, but will be charged $200 upon acceptance. All graduate students and postdocs who apply must have a research adviser that is supportive of the time commitment away from the lab and the alternative career interests.

Admission is based on the strength of the application, including: academic accomplishments, career interests and enthusiasm for technology innovation and commercialization.
