Identification: Assessing my idea

Identification is the first step in supporting technology and scientific transfer. This section introduces you to the key stakeholders who will guide you, step by step, through the process of transferring and marketing your research work.  

Did you know that, for your laboratory, one of your supervising institutions (“tutelle”) is, on behalf of the others, responsible for the technological and scientific transfer of your research work?

Identification
 

Identification involves spotting inventions at an early stage. Find out who your contact person is in your lab to discuss this. 

Invention disclosure form
 

An invention disclosure form allows you to report any results that may have innovative potential.

Preliminary evaluation
 

A preliminary evaluation involves analyzing the potential protection and socioeconomic impact of your invention. 

Intellectual property protection
 

The purpose of intellectual property is to protect your inventions, and it takes many forms (patents, copyrights (software…), trade secrets, secret know-how, etc.).

Technology pre-maturation grants
 

The pre-maturation stage aims to support projects with high potential in the early stages of technological development and scientific consolidation.
