Industry Liaison Officer
The Industry Liaison Officer (ILO) has two key
functions:
- liaison with business, industry associations
and government to facilitate
applied research on campus; and,
- assisting the university
research community in transferring technologies to industry
for commercialization.
a) Industry Liaison
Provides assistance to researchers and to industry, governments,
and other sectors of society in identifying research opportunities
and negotiating research contracts and industrial grants. We
also encourage interaction with the industrial and public sectors
and communicates contract and grant research opportunities
to University researchers. It is here to help you the researcher,
or business representative, or other to access research opportunities
at the university.
b) Technology Transfer
The ILO facilitates the identification and protection of
commercially significant technologies arising from the academic
research activities at the NSAC. It assists in educating University
staff and students in understanding issues associated with
the nature and means of protecting intellectual property (IP).
It actively protects IP through patents, copyright, and trademarks
as well as pursues the licensing of intellectual property for
commercial enterprise development.
