We Have Supported Technology Development in its Early Stages – Proof of Concept
In accordance with the recent trends in technology transfer, TTO MU works on a strategy to support so called proofs of concept. Between May and June 2014, our office opened an internal call for grant proposals, aim of which was to allow MU research teams to finish or verify functionality of their technologies.
The call was financed by the project Technology Transfer at MU supported by the Operational Programme Research and Development for Innovation. The teams’ applications were assessed by the Council of Technology Transfer and Commercial Cooperation of MU and by the provider of finances.
These specialists approved the total of 16 applications (i.e. 5 million CZK of financial support) out of the 24 filed (8,8 million CZK). Out of the approved applications, 7 came from the Faculty of Science, 4 from CEITEC MU, 2 from the Faculty of Informatics, 2 from the Faculty of Medicine and 1 from the Centre for Helping Students with Special Needs.
