The Tech Transfer Operations Video Toolkit

When it comes to the day-to-day function of the tech transfer office, operations staff are the “unsung” heroes. While they don’t get the headlines and kudos for patents issued, big licensing deals, and new start-ups, tech transfer professionals know that it’s their work behind the scenes that underpins every commercialization achievement.

Whether it’s docketing, royalty distribution, Bayh-Dole compliance, database management and reporting, licensee compliance, keeping up with attorney fees, or any of the hundreds of tasks often taken for granted in the complex world of university tech transfer, these critical team members are doing the dirty work, day in and day out.

The Tech Transfer Operations Video Toolkit is an instant library of 20 detailed distance learning programs addressing everything from budgeting, productivity, and data management to staffing, risk mitigation, auditing, MTA management, and more.

We’ve listed each program below, divided by subject area. Click on the titles for full details on each session. Order today and you will receive instant access to the digital package – on-demand videos with closed captions of all 20 programs – along with all program materials prepared by our expert panelists. 

We also recognize that budgets are tight and operations staff are not always first in line for professional development, yet the guidance contained in the toolkit’s programs can make a critical difference in your TTO’s efficiency and performance. So we’ve priced this extensive collection at less than $25 per program – you pay just $498 for all 20 programs.

Even better, every session can be viewed within your office with other staff and viewed repeatedly, making The Tech Transfer Operations Video Toolkit about the most cost-effective investment you can make.
