M-CASTL Technology Transfer

Technology transfer is typically accomplished through conferences, scholarly publications (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles, technical reports, and book chapters), lay-publications (e.g., newsletters), presentations, and web sites. The Center, however, recognizes that an important aspect of technology transfer is synthesizing knowledge into a form that is readily accessible to those who need the information, such as guidelines and standards. The Center’s Technology Transfer Program has been developed to both encourage the synthesis of information and to take advantage of state-of-the-art information technology to reach as wide an audience as possible. The M-CASTL Technology Transfer Program is diagrammed below.
