UPM Researcher
There are two categories of offer depending on needs and type of knowledge developed. The researcher will have to decide which category best fits the capability, service or technology solution they are going to offer. More than one form can be created as required:
- Scientific–technological services: these are techniques, tests and consultancy work offered by UPM’s research support units, which are equipped with highly sophisticated scientific equipment and staffed by highly qualified technical staff.
- Technological solutions: these are research results already achieved in varying degrees of development that can be the basis for the co-creation of a product or service in collaboration with an external entity, generally a company, or, depending on its maturity, directly transferable for commercial use by that entity.
The technological offers are added on the UPM Researcher’s Portal. Here you can access a simple manual.
Once you have added your technology sheet, you have to send it for validation and after passing an internal review it will be posted on the Innovation HUB
To change a record, you have to unpost it and remove the validation, make the desired changes, save and send it to validate again.
Yes, you can deactivate (unpost) an entry or you can delete it completely.
