General Information

The Office for the Transfer of Research Results
(OTRI)
 was created in 1989 to liaison between the University and Companies.



The OTRI was created with the core objective of reinforcing their relationships and promoting the transfer of science and technology from the university to the business world. Our main objectives include:

  • To build a database of research lines and the Research & Development at the Complutense University of Madrid. 
  • To identify the transferable results generated by researchers as well as the needs of businesses, with the aim of putting together research contracts to meet those needs.
  • To advise researchers on the preparation of research contracts, proposals for national and European R&D projects, and the drafting and processing of patents, both nationally and internationally.
