Abu Dhabi University has no technology transfer office yet, this office requires a lot of procedures in order to happen, but in the near future, there will be. Abu Dhabi University it taking this plan seriously as it has many a lot of students who have to potential to make such a project successful.

Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship

 

Abu Dhabi University is still working on it, there are plans but nothing is implemented yet. The faculty is more encouraged to do researches and consultation.  There are contracts in place and some faculty is doing work outside of the university (for example through ADU KG, a sister organization/consultancy). Moreover, there is an assessment done by students to evaluate the professors’ performance, and there is a criterion in this evaluation which measures the innovative techniques used by the professors in the class and outside the class.
