UNIBUREIN is an "industry-academia collaboration platform" that matches the technological seeds and research content of universities and research institutions with the challenges and needs of companies.
It allows researchers and companies to communicate directly in a self-solving manner.
Additionally, specialized coordinators (industry-academia aggregators) provide support by assisting with contract procedures and intellectual property management.

Universities, public research institutions, and technical colleges, regardless of location, as well as large corporations, SMEs, and startups looking to collaborate with research seeds, can use this platform as long as they adhere to the terms and conditions.

Basic browsing and membership registration are free of charge. However, additional fees may apply for services such as messaging between researchers and companies, coordination support, or intellectual property management assistance.
Please refer to the plan-specific terms of use and pricing table for details.

We cover a wide range of fields, from science and engineering to humanities. You can register research from life sciences, IT & AI, materials engineering, humanities and social sciences, education, and more.
Companies also post various themes and project opportunities, so please take advantage of them.

You can delete your account after registration, but deleting an account while on a paid plan will be considered cancellation of the paid plan. Please be aware of this.

The pricing plan is based on a monthly contract starting from the date of change. You can change the plan at any time, but please note that fees for the new plan will be added to the amount already paid.

It increases the chances of receiving joint research or contract research requests from companies.
It provides an opportunity to widely promote research results, leading to social implementation and funding.
UNIBUREIN coordinators support contract and intellectual property negotiations, reducing the burden on researchers.

UNIBUREIN operates with confidentiality in mind. When publishing research content, only publicly available information is disclosed, and confidential conversations can take place in a closed environment via direct messaging between the parties.
Detailed confidential information and patent-related details can be disclosed only after an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is signed following a successful match.
UNIBUREIN coordinators provide contract and NDA templates as needed to ensure appropriate confidentiality obligations.

This service prioritizes the protection of researchers' rights. Published information can only be viewed within the disclosure level set by the researcher.
Specific data, detailed know-how, etc., should only be disclosed after signing an NDA.
By clearly defining ownership and usage rights in contracts, we ensure that researchers' intellectual property rights are not unfairly infringed.

UNIBUREIN coordinators (Industry-Academia Aggregators) support universities by assisting with standard contract procedures and document preparation.
For legal and intellectual property matters that may be difficult for researchers to handle on their own, coordinators facilitate smooth industry-academia collaboration.

Yes, it is possible. Organizations and TLOs can register, but individual researchers must register separately from their institutions.
If the registration process is difficult, a registration proxy service is also available.

The use of academic knowledge and research results by SMEs and startups for new business development and the acquisition of credibility (evidence) is increasing significantly.
From large corporations to SMEs, venture companies, and startups, any company interested in industry-academia collaboration can register.
As part of open innovation, large companies may use the platform to search for next-generation technologies, or they may collaborate with SMEs and startups to conduct joint research with researchers.

At UNIBUREIN, companies can consult with industry-academia aggregators if they are concerned about the scope of disclosure for their registered project information or challenges..
Specific negotiations on joint research or technology licensing terms are conducted after an NDA is signed according to the company’s request, ensuring confidentiality.

Companies and researchers can communicate directly in a "self-solving" manner, but if they are unfamiliar with contracts or intellectual property management, UNIBUREIN coordinators will provide support.
Coordinators assist with contract templates and negotiations with universities, significantly reducing time and effort.

"Can our company really engage in such industry-academia collaboration?" Industry-academia aggregators can also propose suitable collaborations.
By setting up a "Joint Research Project Consultation" on UNIBUREIN, interested researchers and coordinators will propose potential collaborations.
We can assist with refining research themes, planning proof-of-concept experiments, and providing advice on the best collaboration methods.
You can also delegate the process entirely, as industry-academia aggregators will coordinate with university liaison offices to facilitate internal procedures and research fund management.

In principle,
Research results and patents originally held by researchers belong to the researcher (or their affiliated university).
Technologies and know-how provided by companies belong to the company.
The ownership of inventions and results created through joint research will be determined separately in the contract.
UNIBUREIN provides contract templates and guidelines to help both parties secure intellectual property rights in a mutually agreeable manner.

Through UNIBUREIN’s management screen, users can check communication history, contract status, and the delivery status of research outcomes.
Coordinators provide periodic follow-ups as needed to ensure that there are no issues with the contract or progress.
If any issues arise, users can contact the UNIBUREIN support desk for appropriate assistance.
