Recent information about the activities of CITTRU can be found in the News.
The Centre of Innovation, Technology Transfer and University Development (CITTRU) was created in the beginning of 2003, in accordance with the decree issued by Professor Franciszek Ziejka, PhD, HM Rector of the Jagiellonian University.
The mission of CITTRU:
Promoting the academic entrepreneurship - transferring the results of scientific research to the market and developing businesses created on the basis of scientific research. This activity requires broad co-operation with commercial companies and public institutions aimed at obtaining their support - both financial and essential - for the development of scientific projects;
Supporting scientific research related to and using new technologies, able to compete with advanced research carried out by other economic subjects;
Co-ordinating strategic investments of the Jagiellonian University related to the economic and social development of the school.
Creating entrepreneurial attitudes and promoting inventiveness would not be possible without diversification of activities and identifying diverse problems and needs - ranging from raising funds and gaining high visibility for the University's research to co-ordinating individual scientific ideas and providing business help. In this aspect, the wide scope of CITTRU activities also involves co-operation with local authorities, educational and scientific institutions and business environment (on the regional, national and international scales).
Our main activity ranges:
Creating and launching the Innovative Database containing searchable information on the University's scientific experts, research projects and available specialised equipment; Creating the University Technology Incubator providing business, office space and consultancy support facilities for commercial development of scientific products.
