Überblick
Lernziele:
Ziel des Moduls ist es, Wissenschaftlern einige bedeutende Nutzenaspekte der
Zusammenarbeit mit KMU aufzuzeigen.
• Möglichkeiten zur Überführung der eigenen Forschung in die Anwendung
am Markt.
• Steigerung der Publikationsmöglichkeiten für die beteiligten Forscher.
• Demonstration der praktischen Relevanz der eigenen
Forschungsarbeiten.

Introduciton
Knowledge transfer between research institutions and industry
consist of a variety of activities, including, for example:
Research institution-industry
staff-exchange programmes
Gifts and endowments by
industrial partners
(eg. professorial chairs)
Collaborative and contract
researchConsultancy work
Introduciton
Reasons to be “personally important” (Yong S. Lee, 2000):
•To supplement funds
•To look for business opportunity
•To gain insights in the
area of one’s own
research
•To test the practical
application
•To create student
internships and job
placement opportunities
•To further university’s
outreach mission
•To gain knowledge about
practical problems useful for
teaching
•To secure funding for research
assistants
•To look for business opportunity

Benefits of Collaboration.
“LUT has a long history combining technology and business.
That’s a good basis for an environment for innovation.”
“Business excellence rarely centers around only performance.”
“Linking technological advances with commercial aspirations is
in the core of many innovations.”

Benefits of Collaboration.
What is your role in technology transfer?
Innovation is the complete process of ideas transforming into products:

Benefits of Collaboration
HEIs and SMEs have always been on the same team, this process portrays
how the collaborations works and where the HEIs role is how important.
Commercialization of Research.
• Opens up a number of different opportunities for a HEI:
- create revenue
- make an impact
- can be stimulating for department and students
• Diversify funding base
- In the future: funding will be tied to measurable outcomes
• Informative video about the benefits of commercialization of
research: “From Research to Commercialization”

Publication Opportunities.
• Applying the research to real-world situations, adds a great
element to potential writing pieces.
• The opportunity for publication is beneficial to the professor,
the institution itself, as well as students:
– Such publications are a reference for students seeking to
pursue careers at a HEI or in a SME
– And gives them insight into how a successful economy
functions best
– Not to mention, provides an over-all understanding of a
necessary partnership in society
Publication Opportunities.
Scientific Productivity.
• Researchers who combine research and university-industry
relation activities obtain compared with those members who
concentrate only on research (Manjarrés et al., 2008):
• Higher scientific productivity
• Achieve higher status within their institutions
• Better opportunity to access state-of the art equipment,
artifacts and data to carry on their projects.

Legitimacy
•Development of mutual trust between HEI&SME,
• The enhancement of research institutions research activities.
• Gaining status and prestige, resulting from successful partnerships
and products.
• The enhancement of research institutions teaching activities.
The main indirect benefits for legitimacy

transfer between research Institutions and
Industry across Europe”):
Legitimacy
The main indirect benefits for legitimacy
(European Commission: “Improving knowledge
transfer between research Institutions and
Industry across Europe”):
•Attracting, retaining and motivating good scientists interested in
entrepreneurial aspects or in new professional career opportunities.
•Contributing to public authorities better recognising the socio-
economic relevance of publicly-funded research, potentially leading to
increased funding thereof.
•Facilitating exchanges of staff between the research institutions and
industry
Legitimacy
• Faculty who receives industry support are more likely to report that their
choice of research topic is influenced by the project’s commercial potential
(Blumethal et al., 1996)
•HEI active in “knowledge sharing” (highly valued and
supported)
• Positive recognition and vision of HEI as part of the
“solution”
• HEI as a symbol of public institution willing be a part of
innovate culture.
•The market and more importantly the community are
more likely to consider HEI because of their involvement
with other organizations.
Funding
• Government funding is declining.
• Rise in competitive external funding.
• Diversify funding base.
• Income generation via consultancy, services, commercialization, IP.
• Investment strategies.
Funding
The European Social Fund:
• Through European frameworks programmed is indented to encourage
innovation.
• The Framework Programmes also funds the intersectional mobility of
research staff, including university-industry exchanges.
• Increased emphasis on strengthening
research and innovation, particularly
through knowledge transfer.
Funding
New Competitive and Innovations Programs
•Complementing their own academic research by securing funds for
graduate students and lab equipment (Yong S. Lee 200)
• Desire of acquiring additional resources, relevant to choose the intensity
of collaboration (Tartari and Breschi, 2009)
• Fiscal budgets constraints encourage HIE to move towards more
competitive funding sources (Geuna and Nesta, 2006)
• Will support all forms of innovation, public-
private partnerships and measures to improve
access to finance.
