Pamukkale TTO
Purpose and Activities
Awareness, Promotion, Information and Training Services
We increase TTO awareness by organising training, seminars, symposiums, congresses, workshops, workshops, etc. on support programmes, university-industry cooperation, intellectual property rights, patent and licensing, entrepreneurship and incorporation with R&D and innovation-oriented public / private sector institutions, academicians and students.
We introduce the infrastructure and resources of universities to the business world.
Services for Benefiting from Support Programmes
We inform students, academic staff and private sector representatives who can benefit from national and international support programmes and bring them together with the appropriate grant support programme.
With the "Mentoring Support Programme", we enable academic staff who have not applied for a project before or whose applications have not been approved to meet with colleagues with project experience and receive consultancy support.
We offer project preparation support to lecturers who come with a project idea.
Project Development/Management Services (University-Industry Cooperation Activities)
In order to transform the academic knowledge of universities into products and services with high value and technology, we prepare R&D projects and mediate their implementation in the industry.
- By visiting industrial organisations, we find and match academicians who are qualified to provide solutions for determining R&D project demands.
- We enable private sector organisations to benefit from the laboratory infrastructure of universities.
- We provide consultancy services to private sector organisations on establishing R&D centres.
- We mediate for university students to get to know the business world more closely and to carry out their graduation projects practically in the private sector.
Intellectual Property Rights Management and Licensing Services
- We contribute to informing and encouraging university researchers, new entrepreneurs, students and Teknokent companies to apply for patents, increasing the number of national and international patent applications in the region and protecting intellectual and industrial rights in our country.
- We coordinate the financial support from the budget of the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit for patent applications to be made within the scope of the "Invention Support Programme" (BULDES) in order to protect the inventions made by Pamukkale University faculty members and students with patent applications.
- We carry out the commercialisation of patents or ideas obtained by faculty members, students and companies, and the sharing of this income by the relevant institutions.
Entrepreneurship and Incorporation Services
- We provide support at every stage by encouraging them to establish start-up or spin-off companies.
- We take them to the mentoring programme to benefit from the entrepreneurship grants provided by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology and TUBITAK.
