Surveys

Sharing Trends and Insights

Each year our surveys allow us to measure trends and share insights about the tech transfer industry and those who work in it.

The AUTM Licensing Activity Survey includes detailed information on research funding, the impact of innovation, patent activity, licensing income and the number of start-ups, as reported by AUTM members.

The AUTM Salary Survey, conducted every three years, is a comprehensive, worldwide survey of salaries, incentives and office staff organization — offering valuable insights on compensation and the tools to map successful careers within the technology transfer profession.

The AUTM Material Transfer Agreement Survey is the first survey that looks specifically at material transfer agreements (MTAs) and how institutions manage them.
