The University of Luxembourg appointed Dr Christophe Haunold to lead its newly created \u201cCentral Office for Partnership, Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT)\u201d. Christophe Haunold joined the University on 15 May from the Institut national polytechnique de Toulouse, where he led the Technology Transfer Office (TTO SAIC INPACT\u00ae<\/sup>) since 2004.<\/p>

The new office symbolises the University\u2019s ambitions to further develop its partnership with industry, market players and society, and to leverage its research activities to contribute to the social and economic development of Luxembourg and the Greater Region. Together with existing teams in the University\u2019s faculties and interdisciplinary research centres (IC), the KTT office will foster partnerships, patenting, licensing and spin-off activities for scientific research.<\/p>

The University of Luxembourg is a research-oriented University in a country that nurtures and promotes its research and innovation ecosystem, aiming at a knowledge-based economy at the heart of Europe. The University has become an epicentre for the creation of new knowledge and technology, and is already ranked among the best young universities in the world.<\/p>

\u201cThe University delivers research and innovation with both local and global socio-economic impact, often in collaboration with private and public partners,\u201d states Prof. Jens Kreisel<\/a>, Vice-rector for research. \u201cSuch collaborative projects, throughout all fields of activity of the University, offer a springboard for future developments\u201d. In the year 2019, the University has already received close to 20 Mio. \u20ac of external funding within collaborative projects.<\/p>\n

\nTowards a comprehensive technology and knowledge transfer<\/h3>\n

Building on international best practices and its research achievements, the University\u2019s faculties and IC have already launched several significant partnerships, Proof of Concepts and spin-off companies. The KTT office will bundle existing activities in the spirit of a distributed system and support researchers in all areas.<\/p>

\u201cWith the new Central Office for Partnership, and Knowledge and Technology Transfer, the University complements its existing teams in the faculties and ICs by a central University office,\u201d continues Jens Kreisel.<\/p>

\u201cSuccessful Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) requires a strong political will, adequate resources,\u00a0and of course high-quality research activities. All of these can be found in Luxembourg and its University. I am looking forward to reinforce the existing dynamic and highly professional teams,\u201d states Christophe Haunold.<\/p>

In 2018 and 2019, the University\u2019s faculties and IC secured a total of 35 FNR JUMP grants, the Luxembourg National Research Fund\u2019s funding programme designed to help bridge the gap between research-driven discoveries and their marketing. \u201cThe University considers it an important part of its mission to generate economic impact. With our new office the University can better leverage its commitment towards entrepreneurs and partners, and towards Luxembourg\u2019s society as a whole,\u201c concludes Prof. St\u00e9phane Pallage, Rector of the University.<\/p>\n

\nResume<\/h3>\n

Christophe Haunold has close to 30 years of experience in technology transfer. After gaining his PhD in chemical engineering from the Institut national polytechnique de Toulouse (Toulouse INP<\/a>) he started working in technology transfer at this institution in 1992 and consistently excelled at innovation management, intellectual property and research collaborations.<\/p>

In addition to his position at the Toulouse INP, Christophe Haunold acts as Vice-President of the ASTP<\/a>, a leading association of knowledge transfer based in Leiden, and acted as Deputy Director General at\u00a0TTT<\/a> (Toulouse Tech Transfer), a company which supports technology transfer between public laboratories and market players.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
