OMAHA, Neb. (June 11, 2009)—UNeMed Corporation, the technology transfer leader for UNMC, will sponsor a free Webinar series for all researchers, post docs and graduates students beginning on June 18.
The series, hosted by the National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer (NCET2), is part of an 11-week lecture course.
The course will deal with successfully commercializing various types of research activities and will discuss the practical business and legal issues that researchers need to understand to commercialize their research. Topics are shown below.
As national research funding decreases, alternative sources of revenue will be invaluable to investigators as they compete for the limited number of academic appointments available. Fundamental understanding of the issues that arise in the commercialization process will allow investigators to tailor their research to maximize the potential of transferring their findings to the public sector, which in turn generates significant revenue to help further their research efforts. In addition, information presented will help empower those individuals possessing the desire to form their own companies, increasing their potential for success.
Each lecture is a 90-minute Webinar with live Q&A. There will be expert guest speakers for each session. If you are interested in the free course, but unable to attend in person, you may sign up to view the session from any computer by registering at the Researcher Commercialization Course Web site.
