Transfer

Bridge between science and practice

Knowledge and technology transfer is a central task of the university and combines scientific expertise with social and economic requirements. Our aim is to transfer research findings into practice, promote innovative solutions and strengthen the exchange between science, business and society.

The  Technology Transfer Office (TIM; only in German) is a joint institution of Osnabrück University and Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. It is responsible for knowledge and technology transfer at Osnabrück's universities and thus makes a significant contribution to strengthening the regional economy and innovative power.

The TIM sees itself as a mediator, interpreter and catalyst between science and society. Personal and confidential advice in all matters relating to knowledge and technology transfer is a central concern.

These topics are also anchored in the TIM:
