Innovation and valorization of research

Anchored in a rich and dynamic ecosystem, the USMB encourages the valorization of its research results and the transfer of knowledge to socio-economic players in order to promote innovation. It thus provides companies and local authorities with the expertise and skills of its researchers and its research facilities. It also supports its researchers in partnership activities through a network of development, a dedicated service and training.
The USMB benefits from the networking activities of the USMB Foundation, which supports research projects with a strong impact on the Savoie Mont Blanc region, particularly through research chairs.

Knowledge transfer

Knowledge transfer can take several forms: research collaboration, CIFRE collaboration, service provision, access to specific equipment, etc., depending on the needs, intellectual and financial contributions of each partner and the expected results.
