3 Centers for the Acceleration of Technology and Knowledge Transfer
Technology and knowledge transfer is built around 3 Centers for the Acceleration of Technology and Knowledge Transfer (CATTS) which operate as a center of interdisciplinary initiatives that encourage and ensure the transfer at all stages of the initiative.
Each CATTS provides support and supervises a wide range of activities and programmes, ranging from research contracts to industrial PhDs, including on-demand programmes and European projects with private partners, as well as advice on business creation. They symbolize a clear and unique entry point for anyone who would like to collaborate.
Built around the 3 areas of expertise of the initiative - Risk, Security and Society; Heritage, Luxury and Arts; Business Finance & Management - these 3 CATTS are run by senior researchers with experience in technology and knowledge transfer and credibility with public and private partners. They are also recognized for their expertise on the topic of their CATTS.
