Research, Partnerships and Commercialization

Recommended for: Faculty and researchers at all career stages, postdocs, graduate students, research assistants and staff involved in research, partnerships or innovation projects.

In this one-hour session, faculty will be introduced to the Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation (OVPRI) team dedicated to supporting research commercialization and industry engagement. Participants will meet key staff who can help advance the commercial potential of their research, learn about the university’s policies, agreements and processes that enable commercialization activities, and discover the range of resources and support available from intellectual property management to partnership development. This session is designed to help faculty understand how to navigate the commercialization pathway at TMU and connect with the right people early in their research journey.

We ask that participants inform us beforehand of any accessibility requirements for this presentation.
