Knowledge transfer
The content on this page was translated automatically.
The transfer of scientific knowledge into society is an important task of the University of Kassel. In order to initiate and support transfer activities, but also to carry them out itself, the University of Kassel has created "UniKasselTransfer". All transfer-oriented activities such as patent and innovation management, dual studies, service-learning formats and start-up support are combined there.
