University of Sheffield Commercial Assessment System (CAS)

If you have any questions about the Commercialisation activity at the University of Sheffield or your research has generated outputs that you think may be the basis of a commercial opportunity for the University, e.g. a product or process that an external party would pay to have access to, then the first stage in the process is to contact us either via the form below, by email to cas0@sheffield.ac.uk or by calling Laura Madden (0114 22 24434).

We will respond to your query and if a more in depth discussion is required a Commercialisation manager will contact you.  If the idea represents a viable Commercialisation opportunity then the Commercialisation manager will work with you to submit a full Commercial Opportunity Disclosure (COD) into CAS.
