Building the capabilities institutions need to innovate. NEIL supports universities to strengthen the policies, intellectual property management and technology transfer systems that turn research into impact.
Universities generate valuable research with the potential to drive innovation, create new opportunities and address societal challenges. This program supports member institutions in strengthening the policies, structures and skills needed to translate research into practical applications, commercial opportunities and meaningful social impact.
We work with each university on the areas where it needs most support.
Clear rules that give staff and students confidence to commercialize their work.
Research outputs that are protected and ready to be commercialized.
Research that reaches industry, investors and communities.
A practical path from where your institution is today to where it wants to be.
Review current policies, IP practice and technology transfer capacity.
Agree priorities and a realistic plan that fits the institution.
Develop policies, processes and skills, with peer learning across members.
Stay connected to the NEIL network so progress continues.
