 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.
