Developing your research results

How can you make the most of your research results?

You’re a researcher and have an idea, a project that you believe could have an impact on the world.

LouvainTransfer’s ambition is to “connect research and society to build tomorrow's world together”. Its mission is to transform research results into socio-economic impact.

To achieve this, LouvainTransfer offers a range of services.

Facilitation and support

LouvainTransfer helps you connect your project to the outside world (companies, organisations, etc.) and access funding for collaborative research. We translate the expectations of public funders and companies in order to speed up the process, increase your project’s credibility and increase chance of success.

More value for a better return

Thanks to our support, your work will benefit from wider recognition and increased financial support, boosting the impact of your research.

Towards a greater impact on society

By protecting and promoting your ideas, LouvainTransfer can help you transform them into tangible innovations that will drive socio-economic progress.

Research development is a six-phase process:

1. raising awareness;
2. funding;
3. identifying exploitable research results;
4. maturation;
5. marketing;
6. monitoring exploitation.

During these various stages, LouvainTransfer (formerly LTTO) provides UCLouvain researchers and partners with a full range of services for setting up projects and finding funding, drafting contracts, protecting intellectual property, transferring material (biological or other), defining business models, negotiating licensing agreements and assisting with the launch of spin-offs.
