Scientific infrastructure
The universities of Würzburg and Tübingen provide a state-of-the-art research infrastructure and guarantee all project leaders of the CRC/TR 240 access to all necessary equipment to ensure the best possible implementation of the different research projects.
Knowledge transfer
The transfer of knowledge from basic research into marketable products with social benefits is often a lengthy process. In order to identify promising ideas as early as possible and to develop appropriate strategies for early patenting, all institutions within the CRC/TR 240 have set up patent information and patenting services. By offering workshops, on-site visits and coaching, the patent services also foster the researchers´ awareness of intellectual property and transfer activities.
