Calls for applications
Within the framework of its technology transfer mission, SATT Paris–Saclay initiates, on a regular basis, calls for applications with research laboratories of the Université Paris-Saclay and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

Aim: to remove the technical obstacles and secure the intellectual property in order to turn a technology into a product and bring off its industrial transfer.
Target
- Call for applications aimed at researchers who are members of the Paris-Saclay Cluster: Université Paris-Saclay, Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC.
Technological maturity prerequisite
- Proof of academic concept (TRL 3)
Market maturity prerequisite
- Application market has been identified, benchmarking elements have been analyzed (positioning of the technology as regards academic and industrial state of the art, identification of competition solutions).
Intellectual property
- No publication should have been made before the scientific results are protected.
SATT Paris-Saclay investment up to € 450 k along with 12 to 24 months support
This investment covers:
- Personnel expenses (salaries of the staff members specifically recruited for the project, excluding permanent laboratory staff)
- Sub-contracting expenses
- Equipment expenses
- Expenses related to the registration and maintenance of the project’s intellectual property
Achieve a satisfactory maturity level
- Tech Transfer Program makes it possible to achieve a satisfactory maturity level enabling the granting of a license to an industrial partner or to consider creating a company without requiring new technology developments.

Aim: to create a proof of concept which can be applied on an identified market.
Target
- Call for applications aimed at researchers who are members of the Paris-Saclay Cluster: Université Paris-Saclay, Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC.
Technological maturity prerequisite
- Research results which have been experimentally demonstrated (TRL 2-3 or equivalent for life sciences).
Market maturity prerequisite
- Technical and market specifications identified by an external study.
Intellectual property
- No publication should have been made before the scientific results are protected.
SATT Paris-Saclay investment up to €100 k along with 9 to 12 months support
This investment covers:
- Personnel expenses – salaries of the staff members specifically recruited for the project, excluding permanent laboratory staff – [from € 30 to 70 k]
- Performing market and/or intellectual property surveys (managed directly by SATT) and handling the registration of intellectual property related to the project results [€ 20 k]
- Payment of management expenses for the teaching organizations [8% of personnel expenses]
A springboard to the Tech Transfer Program
- The Poc’Up Program support is a springboard to the Tech Transfer Program which opens up prospects for the creation of startups or the granting of a license to an industrial partner.
- Poc’Up Program + Tech Transfer Program = up to € 550 k of SATT investment for a total duration of 24 to 36 months.

Aim: to create a proof of concept which can be applied and to define an optimal technology transfer strategy.
Target
- Call for applications aimed at young Ph.Ds or third-year Ph.D. students coming from at least one laboratory that is part of the Paris-Saclay Cluster – Université Paris-Saclay, Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC – who presented their thesis after 2017.
Technological maturity prerequisite
- Research results which have been experimentally demonstrated (TRL 2 or equivalent for life sciences).
Market maturity prerequisite
- Application anticipated; market not identified.
Intellectual property
- No publication should have been made before the scientific results are protected. Publication of the thesis is considered to be a disclosure.
SATT Paris-Saclay Investment up to 100 k€ along with 9 to 12 months support enabling:
- Recruitment of the young Ph.D. and technical and scientific work (up to € 74 k)
- Market and/or intellectual property surveys (directly managed by SATT) and registration of intellectual property related to the project results (€ 20 k)
- Payment of management expenses for the teaching organizations (8% of personnel expenses)
The training of the young Ph.D. in technology transfer, with the aim of creating a startup which will develop and market the identified product or service or the granting of a license to an industrial partner is an integral part of the support program.
A springboard to the Tech Transfer Program
- The PhD Transfer Program support constitutes a springboard to industrial transfer or a Tech Transfer Program which opens up prospects for the creation of startups or the granting of a license to an industrial partner.
- PhD Transfer Program + Tech Transfer Program = up to € 550 k of SATT investment including salary for the Ph.D. during 30 months
