Bridging Research and Impact through Commercialisation

Lancaster University's Research Commercialisation Team are dedicated to transforming research outputs and innovative ideas into real-world applications that drive economic growth and societal impact. As a bridge between academia and industry, we are committed to unlocking the full potential of the university's cutting-edge research by fostering collaborations, securing partnerships, and strategically managing Intellectual Property. In alignment with Lancaster University Strategic Plan, the new Intellectual Property policy has been developed to encourage and facilitate the dissemination of research and the exploitation of knowledge. The Intellectual Property Policy came into effect on 1st August 2019.
