Research Support

A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is used to regulate the transfer of biological and/or human samples from AUMC to a third party or vice versa. Important subject matters that are arranged in a MTA are intellectual property, publication etc. For the avoidance of any doubt, a MTA can only be used for a one-way transfer of material. If you intend to collaborate with the provider of the material please contact LRS for a collaboration agreement.

If you expect commercially valuable results and/or intellectual property from your research you can seek advice with the business development managers from Innovation Exchange Amsterdam (IXA). You can find the contact details of IXA Team AUMC on: https://www.ixa.nl/about/teams/.

Commercial parties

For the draft or review of a MTA with a commercial party, please contact LRS.

Please note that in case personal data are processed, transferred or received in the context of your research, you have to seek advice from the department of 'Privacy & Informatiebeveiliging' using this PB&IB form before you submit your request to LRS.

Non-commercial party

LRS will not draft or review MTA's with non-commercial parties.

For the transfer of human material between non-commercial parties, please use the LRS template MTA human material 2023 and complete the missing information.

For the transfer of non-human material between non-commercial parties, please use the LRS template MTA non-human material 2023 and complete the missing information.
