Background & history
Münster University of Applied Sciences was successful for years in acquiring great amounts of third-party funding due to a successful usage of marketing strategies, concepts, models and measures. Thomas Baaken was appointed as Vice Rector Research and Technology Transfer and applied the concept of marketing to the university's research and technology transfer activities. Because of this exceptional performance in getting money for projects and research results from companies and non-profit organisations the Ministry of Science of the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia decided to fund the Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre as one of the major projects for 3 years, aiming at gaining more and structured knowledge on how research projects between universities and companies can work and to share this knowledge with other universities and research institutions in order to increase their third-party funding levels from commercial projects.
