A published statement of adoption of the best practices recommended in the spin-out review
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) supports and follows the recommendations of the Independent Review of University Spin-out Companies.
LSTM’s spin-out portfolio is small, but growing, and we ensure that:
- our developing spin-out pipeline processes are aligned with the best practice guidelines as presented in the Review as well as in the University Spinout Investment Terms (USIT) Guide
- our university and founder equity stakes are appropriate for each specific new venture
- our spin-out processes are clearly communicated to researchers, across all disciplines, to raise awareness of spin-outs as an opportunity to bring their research into application and impact
- spin-outs are always considered as an option for the exploitation of all university IP.
