Argonne National Laboratory technology transfer report, FY 1987
In 1985 Argonne established the Technology Transfer Center (TTC). As of the end of FY 1987, the TTC has a staff equivalent to four full-time professionals, two secretaries, and two student aides; FY 1987 ORTA funding was $220K. A network of technology transfer representatives provides windows into and out of Argonne's technical divisions on technology transfer matters. The TTC works very closely with the ARCH Develoment Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation set up to commercialize selected Argonne and University of Chicago patents. The goal of the Technology Transfer Center at Argonne is to transfer technology developed at Argonne to the domestic private sector by whatever means is most effective. The strategies by which this is accomplished are numerous and the TTC is, in effect, conducting a number of experiments to determine the most effective strategies. These include cooperative RandD agreements, work-for-others contracts, subcontracting to industry, formation of joint ventures via ARCH, residencies by industry staff at Argonne and vice versa, patent licensing and, of course, conferences, workshops and visits by industry and to industry.
