CRU at NIFTEM will foster an ecosystem of sustainable collaborative research with industries (including large and small, start-ups and non-profit organizations) and renowned academic and research institutes (nationally and internationally) that will promote "open innovation" research perspective for entrepreneurial development activities and technology related areas. We will be working at length, to fulfil the finance management and administrative support, offer IPR protection for technologies developed and transferred, know-how and organize collaborative workshops to open gateways for future sustainable R&D initiatives.
Research projects with industry are different from projects funded by government agencies or departments. NIFTEMs research policies and processes at the center will manage research contracts and grants within a framework of extensive and well-defined federal regulations. By contrast, industry-sponsored research will be more flexible, and these contracts may need negotiations to balance the parties' interests.
Our mission is to act as an effective Interface for translating academic research and innovation to Industry while promoting and sustaining the commercialization of Science and Technology in the Institute for mutual benefit.
