The Knowledge Transfer Centers WTZ Ost, WTZ S\u00fcd and WTZ West were established ten years ago as Austria’s largest competence center for academic knowledge and technology transfer. Under the umbrella of the WTZ, more than 20 universities and 10 universities of applied sciences throughout Austria worked together to create new knowledge horizons, pool potential and focus more on research. The centers acted as an interface between science, technology and business, allowing society to benefit from innovative projects. The focus areas ranged from intellectual property versus sharing innovation and the integration of art into STEM topics to science communication, including the child-friendly communication of technical and scientific topics. In addition, digitalization, the involvement of citizen scientists in research, the organization of competitions to find and promote creative and innovative solutions to current problems, the creation of (international) networks and support for business start-ups (spin-off fellowships) also played an important role.<\/p>\n
Time to say goodbye – but: Let’s stick together!<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n After a decade, the WTZ project has now learned to run – the ties between the universities have been forged. We know and appreciate the diverse knowledge and transfer fields of our partners and the resulting synergies. This added value will continue even after the official project duration! We would also like to thank the aws and the Nationalstiftung f\u00fcr Forschung, Technologie und Innovation for their support.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Knowledge Transfer Centre West (WTZ West) started its third project phase in autumn 2022.<\/strong> From 2022 to 2024 WTZ West connected six universities and four universities of applied sciences in a professional network with the aim of generating new knowledge horizons, combining potentials and putting research at the forefront. The Knowledge Transfer Centre West was funded by the aws with the financial means of the Nationalstiftung f\u00fcr Forschung, Technologie und Innovation.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” disabled_on=”on|on|off” admin_label=”Teiler” _builder_version=”3.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wtz-west.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IconUberUns1.png” alt=”Das Wissenstransferzentrum West verbindet Wissen mit Wirtschaft.” title_text=”Das Wissenstransferzentrum West verbindet Wissen mit Wirtschaft.” url=”https:\/\/wtz-west.at\/en\/wtz-west\/” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”wer wir sind – bild” module_class=”bild_50prozent bild_mittig” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation=”off” sticky=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”wer sind wir – text” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]About us <\/strong><\/p>\n As a competence centre for knowledge and technology transfer, we are working towards new knowledge horizons for research, society and industry \u2026 [read more<\/a>][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wtz-west.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IconSuccessStories1.png” alt=”Success Stories WTZ West.” title_text=”Success Stories WTZ West.” url=”https:\/\/wtz-west.at\/en\/success-stories” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”success study – bild” module_class=”bild_50prozent bild_mittig” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation=”off” sticky=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”success studies – text” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]Success\u00a0Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n From patent videos to entrepreneurship camps \u2013 in this section, you can see an overview of exciting WTZ West projects!\u2026 [read more<\/a>][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wtz-west.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IconTechTransfer3.png” alt=”Technologietransfer” title_text=”Technologietransfer” url=”https:\/\/wtz-west.at\/en\/technologietransfer\/” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Technologietransfer bild” module_class=”bild_50prozent bild_mittig” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation=”off” sticky=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”techtransfer – text” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]Technology transfer <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
