About Us

The Office of Commercialisation’s (OC) primary activities revolve around assisting ANU researchers in the commercialisation of their research. The Office is committed to providing a professional and timely service to all researchers and industry partners; encouraging an outreach culture on campus while promoting ANU’s capability at a global level.

The OC team has a well established record of dealing successfully with a range of commercial clients in the various areas of contract research, IP protection, licensing and company formation. The OC assists both ANU researchers and the wider community (primarily industry and government) in the following ways:

  • To facilitate the nurturing, creation, development and maintenance of productive relationships between:
    • fellow researchers in the various Colleges across campus and their external colleagues; and
    • researchers and industry or government (or consortia thereof).
  • The management of these relationships for the commercial benefit of all parties
  • The protection and subsequent management of the ANU’s intellectual property assets
  • Negotiation of various agreements to assist in the commercialisation of ANU research
  • Promotion and coordination of the development of commercial and entrepreneurial skills around campus through training and education
