Research & Innovation Services

IP & Commercialisation

Working with partners to turn research into new businesses, products, and services is one of the main ways in which the University of Glasgow can deliver meaningful social, economic, and environmental impact.  

The University supports the growth of innovation & enterprise activities through a range of initiatives, and has increased internal resources available to support staff to realise economic impact opportunities. The University’s intellectual property (IP) policy has been revised to provide a greater percentage of licensing income or founders equity to researchers.  

Ready to innovate? The innovation & enterprise journey starts with you discussing your innovation opportunity with a member of the IP & Commercialisation team. We strongly recommend that you do this prior to any public disclosure. We encourage you to contact a member of the IP & Commercialisation team directly to discuss your innovation. You can also complete the Opportunity Disclosure Form or log your innovation in our innovation portal.
