After almost three years, the BePerfekt 2021 project has been successfully completed. The overarching aim of the project, which was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), was to harness the innovation potential of the German science and research landscape in an even more targeted manner for stakeholders from society, culture, politics and business in the future. To this end, a program was developed to support the training and further education of effective transfer managers.

As part of BePerfekt, a further training tool has been developed to empower individualsand teams intransferstructures, which is explicitly tailored to the specific needs of the German transfer landscape, based on a broad concept of transfer that sees transfer as a bilateral exchange between science on the one hand and society, politics and business on the other and encompasses both knowledge and technology transfer (KTT).
Through their work, KTT managers facilitate access to the latest research findings for business and society and bring these findings to their target group. They are therefore responsible for the transfer of knowledge and the technology required for this. To do this, they have to deal with issues such as infrastructure, communication, licensing of technologies, consulting and analysis. In the BePerfekt project, various problems that arise in this context were addressed by a total of five training modules. The ZML was responsible for the didactic design of the measures and supervised the entire implementation and validation of the learning offer.
After the end of the project, the German Association for Knowledge and Technology Transfer(TransferAllianz e.V.) took over the sponsorship and ensured that the modules and KTT training activities for KTT managers and teams in non-university research institutions, universities and research-related transfer companies can continue to be used. Since mid-February, the new KTT community portal "Fokus-Transfer" has bundled all further training modules and qualification opportunities from the BePerfekt project.
This portal also includes the online course "Knowledge and technology transfer KOMPAKT - An online course for more transfer in your institution" produced by the ZML. This extends over a total of four weeks. With the help of the educational video series, participants learn how they can promote knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) in their institution. They will also learn how they can make transfer visible at their institution, what steps are necessary to create and implement a transfer strategy and which trending topics are currently occupying the transfer community.
Be-Perfekt is a BMBF project
