Welcome to the central transfer hub of CRC 1411!
CRC 1411 has established a focal point for the transfer of CRC 1411 research findings into real-life conditions. Together with partners from FAU Outreach, we explore all opportunities for collaboration with industry partners, start-ups and the larger innovation ecosystem.
Possibilities for collaboration are manifold and may include setting up DFG Transfer Projects in Collaborative Research Centres, technology transfer or service-oriented approaches. The DFG Transfer Projects serve to test the findings of basic research under real-life conditions or to develop them, in collaboration with an application partner, into a prototype or an exemplary application. Technology transfer does not only refer to invention and patent management but also to ongoing scientific training and advice on spin-offs or other such activities. The overall objective of the transfer activities is for CRC scientists to work together with implementation partners based in Germany or abroad. The cooperation partners can be private or public users of various kinds.
For further information, please get in touch with our transfer contact above.
Examples
Spin-off: PRTCL
PRTCL is a spin-off from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, founded by CRC 1411 researchers Nabi Traoré (CEO), Lukas Pflug (CTO) and Andrea Gilch (COO). It builds hybrid process models for particle synthesis, so that size, shape and composition distributions of (nano)particles can be controlled with fewer experiments. prtcl.eu
Upcoming: FAU Innovation Walk, 29 October 2026
At the WirtschaftsWoche Weltmarktführer Innovation Day in Erlangen, CRC 1411 spokesperson Nicolas Vogel and the PRTCL co-founders take part in the FAU Innovation Walk. All upcoming events
