Managing TTO Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Planning for Future Disruptions

摘要

Tech Transfer Central understands that COVID-19 is having a huge impact on TTOs. In response, we have put together an emergency webinar sched-uled for April 7 at 1:00 pm ET to discuss how the global pandemic is impacting your operations, workflow and staffing needs- and how to create and implement a contingency plan for maintaining your operations effectively during the severe busi-ness interruptions now affecting the entire world. You may be experiencing staffing issues, stalled negotiations with affected partners, difficulty meet- ing filing deadlines, and interruptions to important research or start-up activity. But you are not alone, and we've asked three of your most experienced colleagues to share the strategies they're using to maintain a sense of "business as usual" under very unusu-al circumstances.
