Technology transfer at the University of Oregon is about developing connections that link researchers and their discoveries to the outside world. These connections speed discoveries into real applications not only in the life and physical sciences but also in fields such as the social sciences and education. The general public, private industry and regional economies all benefit, as does the university through the resulting connections.
