UNeMed (UNMC & UNO tech transfer office) will be hosting its annual Technology Transfer Boot Camp from August 18 - 22, 2025.

UNeMed's Technology Transfer Boot Camp is aimed at graduate students and post-doctoral fellows interested in the process of commercializing an academic innovation or discovery.

The week-long series of seminars and hands-on training can help jump-start an alternate career in science as a technology transfer professional. The program helps scientists gain a wide range of skills and experience to match their scientific knowledge and training.

UNeMed's Technology Transfer Boot Camp focuses on several key areas relevant to a successful career in technology transfer, including:

·         Invention evaluation

·         Intellectual property law

·         Marketing and commercialization

·         Contract negotiation

This year, UNeMed's Technology Transfer Boot Camp will dive deeper than simple lectures. Topics will be explored with hands-on activities meant to teach new skills and abilities. Anyone within the University of Nebraska system is encouraged to apply and participate free of charge, but space is limited. Priority will be given to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.

All sessions will be held at UNeMed’s offices in the new Catalyst building, on west side of Saddle Creek Road. Applications are open through July 11 and will be reviewed in the order they are received until all spaces are filled.
