Technology Transfer

As a member of the Helmholtz Association, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht has an obligation to ensure that its research findings are translated into applications for commercial use and the benefit of society. At the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, achieving this goal is the responsibility of the department of Legal Affairs and Technology Transfer.

Thanks to this proven blend of legal and technology-transfer expertise, our scientists are provided with comprehensive information from an in-house source on all of the legal issues affecting cooperation with third parties, developing their inventions and applying for patents. For our external partners, this combined know-how also provides a full spectrum of services in the area of technology transfer, ranging from negotiations of cooperation agreements to the awarding of licensing agreements for commercial use of Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht technologies.
