Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.


Biomedical knowledge generated in academic environments must be transformed into useful products and services for society if the aim is to create value. The transformation of this knowledge is complex because development cycles are long and usually with a large technical and financial risk. It aims to provide an integrated, strategic and inclusive transfer process.

Pre-course requirements

This block is aimed at biomedical students and professionals who are interested in the transfer process, who throughout their career may come into contact with new knowledge from the perspective of the generator, or a need for new knowledge applied from the user perspective.

  • Knowing the value chain associated with the transformation of biomedical knowledge into financial and social value.
  • Understand the basic forms of knowledge transfer: license, spinoff, services.
  • Learn and develop basic strategic skills: communication, project management and equipment, negotiation.
