Global access to university technologies

On March 10, 2008, I gave a talk on behalf of the UBC chapter of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (www.essentialmedicine.org). These were the closing remarks after presentations by three University of British Columbia (UBC) scientists doing research with implications for global health.

Thanks to a new UBC initiative to promote global access to its technologies, wherein social impact will be considered alongside the financial, economic and academic benefits of technology transfer, the university will strive to ensure that any new technologies arising from their research will be made accessible to underprivileged populations.
