Research Promotion and Technology Transfer
This department provides Med Uni Graz researchers with information and services in the following areas:
- Acquisition of research funding
- Proactive initiation of research projects with academic partners and companies
- Transfer of research findings to industry and society
- Issues concerning intellectual property, material and know-how transfer between Med Uni Graz and other institutions or companies

Research Documentation and Evaluation
The researchers at the Medical University of Graz conduct high-level research. These achievements are documented in the Med Uni Graz research information system. The Research Documentation and Evaluation team takes care of operating, maintaining and enhancing the system as well as validating and updating the data entered into the portal. This data is then referenced for university reporting (e.g., intellectual capital report, performance agreement) and the creation of bibliometric assessments and evaluations—including for internal controlling by the Rectorate.
Coordination Center for Clinical Trials
The Coordination Center for Clinical Trials (KKS) is a service center for clinical trials. Its goal is to guarantee and continuously improve the quality of patient-oriented clinical research in an academic environment by applying the current international standards (Good Clinical Practice according to the ICH guidelines).
International Office
The International Office provides support in all matters related to incoming and outgoing mobility. Its Welcome Center advises Med Uni Graz students and staff as well as international guests concerning their stays abroad or in Graz. This includes support with entry and residency formalities, campus life and social contact.
