What people say
"The course was an excellent introduction to TT. Very intensive but with very good materials. Would definitely recommend."
Martyn Bottomley, Cancer Research Technology Ltd
(Attended Fundamentals of Technology Transfer in October 2009)
"I was very impressed by the way the course was run, organised and the range of topics and speakers from various backgrounds. The content was comprehensive yet focussed and a great opportunity for networking. I can safely say that I feel inspired and hopefully will take on board a lot of the tips for ‘best practice’ for TTOs. Definitely a course for aspiring or practising Tech Transfer Professionals."

I got a great insight into what is involved in spinning out a company from a university and that the best training or teaching I can get from here is to actually spin out a company. I found chatting with other delegates invaluable and realised that we all face the same problems on a daily basis and we can all support each other."
