Ready for your research to make an impact?
Moving your research or creative works out of the university and into the public can be a complex, daunting journey, but it doesn’t have to be. At UMaine, there are several ways for researchers to approach the different aspects of commercialization. In all cases, the goal is to develop real-world applications for university research that can solve problems and help improve lives.
Think of the Office of Strategic Partnerships, Innovation, Resources and Engagement as your commercialization concierge. We’re here to support and advise you on commercialization activities related to your research.
