Knowledge and technology transfer requires networking the researchers with the organisations, groups, or individual persons that are interested in the results of the research projects. It contributes towards bringing the results into the political and public discussion and fosters practical application.
The results of the NRP 62 are particularly aimed at industries where innovation potential linked with intelligent materials guarantee a competitive edge (watchmaking, machines, medical technologies, pharmaceuticals, energy and building technology). Knowledge transfer takes place particularly by transfering promising projects to the framework of the CTI R&D projects.
