The founding commission for the German Agency for Transfer and Innovation (DATI) has submitted its recommendations for the establishment and expansion of DATI to the Federal Minister of Education and Research, Bettina 360直播吧-Watzinger. The aim is to bring research results into application more quickly and effectively and to unleash new innovation potential across Germany. The committee consists of 16 experts, including Prof Dr Birgitt Riegraf, President of Paderborn University.
"Scientists at German research institutions are researching pioneering technologies every day. However, a number of hurdles still need to be overcome in order to successfully anchor these in society. This is precisely the aim of the recommendations that we have developed as a founding commission. I am delighted to be part of this constructive collaboration," said the University President.
The paper presented is based on the guiding principle "Transfer excellence as a mission". "By this we mean the objective of placing the perspective of the users at the centre of the design of transfer and innovation," explains Dr Stefan Gro?-Selbeck, Chairman of the Founding Commission.
