Office of Innovation Management

University of Louisiana at Lafayette, an R1 (top tier) institution powered by its own solar farm, works with industrial and other partners on technology development, laboratory and field-scale testing, education, workforce training, deployment, and commercialization.

The Office of Innovation Management (OIM) focuses on technology collaboration, innovation, and commercialization. We enable potential partnerships between industry and the university’s various research institutes, centers, colleges, and departments. We also provide guidance to UL inventors on intellectual property protection, technology licensing, and/or the creation of start-up companies. And we encourage and broadcast learnings on innovation best practices from within the university and from external sources. To arrange a meeting, please email research@louisiana.edu

The Office of Innovation Management (OIM) continues to follow the guidance outlined on the University COVID-19 website.
