What is a technology transfer intern?

Technology Transfer Interns are students or early-career professionals who work with technology transfer offices, typically within universities, research institutions, or government agencies. Their primary role is to assist in evaluating inventions, conducting market research, and supporting the commercialization of new technologies. They help facilitate the process of moving innovations from the laboratory into real-world applications, which may involve patent analysis, drafting marketing materials, and coordinating with inventors and potential industry partners. This internship provides valuable experience in intellectual property management, licensing, and the business aspects of scientific research.
