About Us
Technology Transfer Offices that have been operating worldwide for years began to be established within universities in our country for the first time in the 2010s, generally starting to provide services under TUBITAK's support program.
Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) are defined as a value chain that facilitates the transfer of skills, knowledge, and technologies from researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs to society and universities, creating mutual economic value.
Due to their service within the TUBITAK program, their organizational structure and service methodology have been shaped within the program's main structure.
This structure consists of five modules and serves three separate target groups. The target groups served are defined as Academic Staff, Students, and the Business World, while the service modules include Visibility, Academic Projects, University-Industry Collaboration, Intellectual Property Rights, and Entrepreneurship modules.
MEFTTO - Technology Transfer Office was established in our university in January 2020 with the aim of transforming the knowledge and technology within our university into value-added new applications and commercial outputs.
In this context, our goals are as follows:
Contribute to the definition of R&D strategies at our university.
Work in line with our university's R&D policies and strategies.
Organize training, seminars, workshops, and similar events for the promotion of national and international R&D funds within our university and to make better use of these funds, as well as to provide support in project preparation, application, execution, and monitoring.
