This document outlines plans for an EU-funded technology transfer program in Jordan called SRTD. It proposes establishing a national technology transfer structure including a steering committee of research and industry organizations and an Intellectual Property Commercialization Office (IPCO) with technology transfer branch offices. The IPCO would oversee technology transfer policy, identify branch offices, and manage commercialization support activities. Branch offices would work to define demand from SMEs and available research, and hosts would allocate staff. The document also details SRTD's 2010 plans, which include training, consulting activities, and internships for technology transfer managers in European technology transfer offices.

Tech Transfer Definition Technology transfer: Is the process of sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing and facilities among industries, universities, governments and other institutions to ensurethat scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploitthe technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services.Source: wikipedia8/5/2010Any means used to have research results and academic knowledge put into practical use
