ABOUT US
Technology transfer consists of the following successive processes: following the technological developments in the world, knowledge, skills, machinery, selecting technologies such as products, services, etc., importing the selected technologies into the country, adapting the imported technologies to national conditions and needs and starting production, developing and disseminating the technology. Therefore, technology transfer involves understanding, adapting, developing, and diffusing acquired technologies. The mission of Technology Transfer Offices is to ensure the qualified follow-up and comprehensive provision of these processes.
The “International Technology Transfer Symposium,” which will be held hybrid for the first time in our country by Ondokuz Mayıs University Technology Transfer Office on 6-8 May 2024 (you can make your presentation on any day you wish), is a symposium where researchers, academics, industry professionals, experts and students from different countries will share their experiences and research results, discuss the challenges and solutions that can be produced.
The symposium aims to present technological innovations in all fields, from basic sciences to engineering, veterinary medicine, health, and social sciences worldwide, and even facilitate their commercialization processes. The symposium, where research, experimental studies, prototypes, products, and patents will be transferred and promoted globally, will not only be limited to academic papers but will also include panels with the participation of sector and public representatives to discuss and debate the main issues that form the basis of Technology Transfer, and a workshop area where companies can present their products, patent holders can present their patents, and entrepreneurs waiting for investment can present their prototypes.

FROM THE RECTOR…
Information and technology are important tools that bring countries, institutions, and firms to the forefront, provide them with a competitive advantage, and enable them to enter other markets and remain in existing ones. Today, the world’s most economically and socially developed countries are the ones that can use actors who can market and transfer their knowledge and technology.
Technology Transfer Offices have great responsibilities to ensure that our country’s science and technology capacity is opened to foreign markets and that the studies in priority areas are multidisciplinary and qualified within the scope of university-industry cooperation.
As Ondokuz Mayıs University and Ondokuz Mayıs University Technology Transfer Office, we are organizing the “International Technology Transfer Symposium” in order to make a sound in the international arena to increase the value-added business capacity in this vision.
We would be honored to invite you, our esteemed participants, to share knowledge and experience at the symposium, which will be held on May 6-8, 2024.
Symposium Honorary President – Ondokuz Mayıs University Rector
Prof. Dr. Yavuz ÜNAL
