== Technology Transfer Unity at AUB ==
AUB is dedicated to help push its community’s innovations and technologies into the market through the services of the Technology Transfer Unit (TTU) at the Office of Grants and Contracts (OGC). They work on updating and drafting intellectual property policies and procedures to encourage the community’s strive for technological development and aid in transferring them to the public for others to benefit from their innovations.
TTU has developed a set of five core goals:
Provide guidance to faculty members, staff and students to consider alternate applications of technology developed as part of their research; with time, develop an effective and efficient technology transfer.
Program and assess, document and communicate the full value of technology transfer activities.
Increase research and development income to AUB, from public and private sources, through appropriate business agreements that are in compliance with the University’s intellectual property policy.
Protect and help market the intellectual property resulting from the scholarly activities at the University.
Enhance national economic development by building strong ties between the public and private sectors, without compromising academic principles.
