The Office for the Transference of Research Results (OTRI)

The Office for the transference of Research Results of Universitat de València is a unit which facilitates and promotes collaboration between the university research world and companies from its socioeconomic environment. This general objective is accomplished in two ways:

- Strengthening the connection between Universitat’s capacity to generate scientific knowledge and technologies and the needs of the productive sectors, enabling the integration of Universitat de València into the innovation system.

- Fostering the researching activity of Universitat de València, stimulating and facilitating the presence of its research groups in autonomous, national and European programmes for technological development and research.

laboratoriOTRI plays an important role as a technological representative of Universitat de València by establishing links with other organisms which are nearer the companies, such as IMPIVA (Institute of Valencian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises), CDTI (Centre for Technical and Industrial Development) of the Ministry of Industry, the Network of Valencian Technological Institutes, and OTRIs from other Valencian and Spanish universities.

In addition, OTRI is a member of the OTRI Network of CRUE Universities (Conference of Chancellors of Spanish Universities), which permits –through training activities and exchanges of experiences- to maintain a suitable level of specialisation in line with current needs. It is also a member in the OTRI State Network and cooperates in an active way with the Spanish Mediterranean Liasion Centre (CENEMES), set up by DGXII of the European Commission with a view to fostering innovation in the local industry through European initiatives.

In order to meet such targets, OTRI carries out the following activities:

- Identify the supply and technological capacity of Universitat’s research groups, and disseminate the transferable results among the enterprises.

- Inform and advise researchers from Universitat and their business partners on existing financial sources for the development of R+D and university-business, and deal with their applications.

- Negotiate and manage R+D contracts and contracts for technological support and guidance between Universitat and the companies.

- Value, protect, ad transfer research results from Universitat de València to the productive sectors.

- Lead R+D projects from the research groups towards the most suitable support programmes.

- Advise on technical matters and deal with R+D European projects, facilitating the search for scientific and business partners.

- Run the scientific and technological supply data base of Universitat de València and provide information on other data bases from Spanish public research centres and universities.
