The office of Development and External Relations (DER) serves as a liaison between industry, faculty and student researchers, the UCI Office of Technology Alliances, Sponsored Projects Administration, and other UCI offices to help maximize the timeliness and clarity of communication of intellectual property issues.
Please contact the DER office in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering for further information.
You may also contact the Office of Technology Alliances directly.
The UCI Office of Technology Alliances (OTA) plays an important role in linking faculty and new technology with companies who can collaborate in both the further development of new inventions and the commercialization of research results. This process helps capitalize on the enormous investment in research by the federal and state governments, private foundations and industry.
