Turning grey matter into green stuff

Article Abstract:

Sufficient funding and good management are required to ensure university research projects achieve their full commercial potential. A commercial technology transfer company can assist with management advice if the university does not have its own technology-transfer facility. Protection of the inherent intellectual property should be considered, with the subsequent patent becoming the property of the university. Various exploitation methods should be examined, although a commercial prospect may be impossible without additional research.

Article Abstract:

A senior lecturer at the University of Wales Bengor reveals how the high ideals that motivated him to become a university academic are still his major source of motivation. The lack of research funding and the exhausting efforts to obtain it indicate that those who provide higher education funding are aware that in many cases the possibility of conducting research is the only way that they manage to hang on to their academic staff.
