UNB-Industry-Government Services

This document is based on information from the University of New Brunswick's Web site as of February 2008.

The objective of the Office of Industry-Government Services is to maximize UNB's input into sustainable economic development in New Brunswick and beyond through the development and transfer of technology and knowledge. The office facilitates access to UNB for those who wish to tap into its knowledge base and research capabilities.

Eligibility Criteria

Industry, government agencies and departments, UNB faculty researchers.

Summary

The two main functions of this office are opportunity development and technology and knowledge transfer. The activities of the office are guided by the ideas that:

• UNB has a role in supporting industry, government, and others, which may lead to sustainable economic development for New Brunswick, Atlantic Canada, and beyond;
• UNB's skills and facilities are being underutilized in this respect, and greater utilization of these assets would provide intellectual and financial benefits;
• faculty members have the desire to use their skills to this end; and
• these activities must be consistent with the teaching and research objectives of UNB.

The strategy of the Office of Industry-Government Services is:

• to rapidly process requests and supply follow-up support services received from faculty, staff, potential clients, and partners and supply follow up support services;
• to expand the number of faculty participants;
• to identify research funding opportunities and research collaboration opportunities;
• to maintain open, regular communications with our clients and partners in order to remain abreast of their development strategies and to plan supporting activity accordingly; and
• to develop more effective identification of technologies with commercialization potential, and to expedite their transfer to industry, preferably in New Brunswick.
