Did you know that breakthroughs made at Oklahoma State University (OSU) were recently celebrated as among more than 100 academic technology transfer success stories that have significantly improved the lives of people around the world? The Better World Project, recently launched by the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM), brings to life technologies that were born in academic institutions and have gone on to improve lives, contribute to the economy, generate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and support further discoveries.
The OSU research has been included in the Better World Project among other breakthroughs such as Google, the nicotine patch, and devices leading to early detection of cancer.
These life-altering discoveries would not be available to people all over the world without the support of academic technology transfer.
Through this project, AUTM aims to bring greater attention to the benefits of technology transfer at institutions like your university, without which the world would be dramatically different.
