“…As a general consideration they seem to be able to connect research results and market, and to incentivize businesses and stakeholders to collaborate with them. In other words, as showed in Figure 9, they have development organization structures, methods, and approaches for survive in the so-called Valley of Death [93], which represents "the gap between where publicly available research funding stops and where private investment or commercial funding starts" [94]. They represent successful cases to be imitated, and an inspiring collection of best practices to be adopted.…”

“…Several attempts have been made to develop patterns of KT indicators at the European level [22,94]. Often the difficulty lies in being able to measure only what is measurable, i.e., many activities are not yet measurable and quantifiable such as the KT activities that occur with unintentional mechanisms [24].…”

“…Often the difficulty lies in being able to measure only what is measurable, i.e., many activities are not yet measurable and quantifiable such as the KT activities that occur with unintentional mechanisms [24]. For example, learning, contacts, friendship, networks, impact, reputation, and publicity are "non-monetary currencies" [94]. In this regard, there is also the scientific debate about the measurement of the impact and benefits of the KT activities on society (e.g., the UK REF Impact Case Studies).…”

Best Practices in Knowledge Transfer: Insights from Top Universities

The impact of knowledge transfer induced by universities on economy, society, and culture is widely acknowledged; nevertheless, this aspect is often neglected by university rankings. Here, we considered three of the most popular global university rankings and specific knowledge transfer indicators by U-multirank, a European ranking system launched by the European Commission, in order to answer to the following research question: how do the world top universities, evaluated according to global university rankings, perform from a knowledge transfer point of view? To this aim, the top universities have been compared with the others through the calculation of a Global Performance Indicator in Knowledge Transfer (GPI KT), a hierarchical clustering, and an outlier analysis. The results show that the universities best rated by global rankings do not always perform as well from knowledge transfer point of view. By combining the obtained results, it is possible to state that only 5 universities (Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, Harvard, CALTEC), among the top in the world, exhibit a high-level performance in knowledge transfer activities. For a better understanding of the success factors and best practices in knowledge transfer, a brief description of the 5 cited universities, in terms of organization of technology transfer service, relationship with business, entrepreneurship programs, and, more generally, third mission activities, is provided. A joint reading of the results suggests that the most popular global university rankings probably fail to effectively photograph third mission activities because they can manifest in a variety of forms, due to the intrinsic and intangible nature of third mission variables, which are difficult to quantify with simple and few indicators.

“…Important to note is that the TTO covers the initial and subsequent costs of IP management, which at times can be an impediment to clinicians pursuing IPR. 6,12 For reference, the cost to file and prosecute a U.S. Patent Application is estimated to be between $30,000 and $45,000.…”

Understanding the purpose and process of obtaining intellectual property rights (IPR) is fundamental to healthcare innovation. Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons are natural innovators, however a knowledge deficit in this space may hinder the ability to move ideas from the “bench to bedside”. Here we provide an overview of IPR, outlining the steps necessary to obtain intellectual property protection in an academic setting, while highlighting recent US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approvals pertaining to Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

“…The main institutional mechanism that facilitates and enables the transfer of university technology is the Office of Technology Transfer (OTT). Successful OTTs are managed as companies, by people with a business mindset [50], experience in the world of research (often with a Ph.D.), and in the business environment [48]. There is a common denominator behind all the resources of the OTT: the people.…”

Knowledge Transfer in Higher Education Institutions Focused on Entrepreneurial Activities of Electronic Instrumentation

et al. 2022

Although society, governments and the business sector are increasingly demanding that Higher Academic Centers translate their innovative potential into products and services that affect society, little is known or done about the entrepreneurial skills that both lecturers and students need in the context of electronic engineering academic degrees. Inevitably, the fact that some teachers lack certain skill sets will have a negative impact on some students’ professional careers. This article demonstrates a range of initiatives in knowledge transfer which have been carried out over more than 30 years by the university research team making the proposal. Such initiatives have allowed the integration of, not only creative thinking, but also other skills differing from traditional teaching and which can help students to successfully compete for jobs requiring higher qualifications. Following the methodology of a case study within the framework of the Polytechnic University School of Vilanova i la Geltrú (EPSEVG) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), the novelty of the research lies in its focus on the results obtained. In the 1990s, entrepreneurial initiatives encouraged the creation of reference laboratories and the teaching of innovative subjects in the field of virtual instrumentation. Years later, this teaching activity would be complemented by the launch of lines of research/technology transfer. It should be noted that, in its initial stages, this entrepreneurial trajectory was characterized by limited material and human resources, but thanks to the discovery of little-explored areas of activity (niches), opting for working in cooperation networks (science-technology symbiosis), and the entrepreneurial profile of the members of the research team, it has been possible to gain a space in the research/development of marine technologies in the national and European context, as stated in the text. This empirical research has contributed significantly to shaping a new degree in Marine Sciences and Technologies. Likewise, the results of this study reveal that a significant number of electronic engineering students have acquired entrepreneurial skills by engaging in teaching and research and development activities in different Higher Academic Centers.
