*USJ leads the way with the first automated Intellectual Property Management System*

Launch of the University’s Intellectual Property Management System was held on January 17th 2023, at the Senate Boardroom under the Patronage of the Vice Chancellor Senior Professor Pathmalal Manage.

The system, the first of its kind among the university technology transfer offices in Sri Lanka, revolutionizes the process of patents and licenses, enhancing efficiency and transparency for innovators, researchers, and students alike. This initiative was supported by the International Finance Corporation - South Asia with support from the Government of Japan.

We thank Prof. Thusitha U Abeytunga, Lead Academic Expert at AHEAD Operation - Ministry of Higher Education, Dr. Nilushi Nugara (Co-Chair - Innovation, Invention and Venture Creation Council of the University), Dr. Chameera Udawatta (Director - USJ Tech Transfer) and distinguished academics of the university for being with us.

Ignite Your Innovation Journey: Lessons from Ancient Flames🔥

Hello Innovators!

Let's take a trip into the past and see how ancient fires can inspire you to make cool things today. This isn't just a history lesson; it's an invite for you to become a big thinker and creator.

Feel the Spark: Be Inspired

Think about those old fires that kept our ancestors warm and helped them come up with cool ideas. Those fires weren't just for survival; they kicked off all sorts of new things. Now it's your turn to get inspired by that same fire to come up with your own awesome ideas.

Power Up the Future: Innovate with Energy

Ever thought about making energy in a better way? You can! Learn from ancient fire lessons and find new, cleaner ways to power the world. You could be the one to make our planet a better place.

Cooking Up Creativity: Make Food Fun

Innovation isn't just for fancy labs; it's also in your kitchen. Imagine being a chef who mixes old cooking tricks with new ideas. You could create a totally new way of making tasty food!

Materials Magic: Build Tomorrow's Stuff

You can be a materials master! Back in the day, people used fire to shape metal. Now it's your turn to play with cool materials like graphene and carbon fibers. Your inventions could be the building blocks for future tech and cool stuff we haven't even thought of yet.

Dream Big: Your Innovation Adventure

Innovators like you are the future leaders. Think beyond old fires and current tech. Picture yourself doing things like using fire to clean up waste or help plants grow. You have so many possibilities in front of you.

You're the Flame: Start Innovating Today

In the end, I want you to see yourself as the next big thinker and creator. Use what you learn from ancient fires to light up your own ideas. You can be the person who discovers new things and makes the world better. Your time is now, so let's get started!
