Who we are

The Technology Transfer Office of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (TTO SAS) is a specialized office of the Slovak Academy of Sciences that helps scientists and researchers from organizations of the Slovak Academy of Sciences protect research results and ensure their transfer into practice. TTO SAS is a partner to scientists in identifying, protecting and commercializing research results that have the potential to be used in practice and contribute to the development of innovations (more in the section “FOR SAS EMPLOYEES”).

TTO SAS also helps SAS organizations in addressing all matters related to intellectual property (IP) management – from notification of the creation of new IP by employees of SAS organizations to the conclusion of agreements with the private sector. TTO SAS assists SAS organizations or represents them in cooperation with third parties, including the private sector, in cases where any form of IP disposition is involved.

For the private sector, TTO SAS specifically helps identify opportunities for research and development cooperation with SAS organizations (more in the section “FOR COMPANIES AND PARTNERS“).

TTO SAS began its activities in October 2009 through the EU project “Center for the Commercialization of Knowledge and the Protection of Intellectual Property of SAS”. It was officially established in October 2011. Since February 1, 2025, TTO SAS has been incorporated into the Centre for Advanced Materials Application SAS.
