Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary aim for this book is to gather and collate articles which represent the best and latest thinking in the domain of technology transfer, from research, academia and practice around the world. We envisage that the book will, as a result of this, represent an important source of knowledge in this domain to students (undergraduate and postgraduate), researchers, practitioners and consultants, chiefly in the software engineering and IT/industries, but also in management and other organisational and social disciplines. An important aspect of the book is the role that reflective practitioners (and not just academics) play. They will be involved in the production, and evaluation of contributions, as well as in the design and delivery of conference events, upon which of course, the book will be based.

Download or read book Technology transfer several factors have led to a decline in partnerships at DOE s laboratories written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1980, the Congress has enacted several laws designed to make federally funded technology available to the public by facilitating the transfer of technology from federal laboratories to U.S. businesses. In particular, the National Competitiveness Technology Transfer Act of 1989 authorized federal laboratories operated by contractors including the Department of Energy s (DOE) national laboratories to enter into cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs) that are consistent with the laboratories missions. Under a CRADA, the partner and DOE laboratory agree to jointly conduct research and typically share the research costs. By fiscal year 1992, DOE s national laboratories were among the leading federal laboratories participating in CRADAs with businesses, universities, and other partners. In addition to CRADAs, DOE s laboratories have participated in technology partnerships by providing technical assistance to small businesses. DOE s laboratories have also transferred technology to businesses and other nonfederal entities without using partnerships by (1) work-for-others agreements, in which laboratory scientists perform specified research and the business pays full costs; (2) licensing their technology to businesses; and (3) making specialized user facilities available.

Download or read book Social Capital to Facilitate Engineered University Industry Collaboration for Technology Transfer written by Omar Al-Tabbaa and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, social capital concept has received considerable amount of research being regard as an important value creation mechanism. However, we still have limited understanding about the nature of interaction between the dimensions of this capital, and how it can be useful in mitigating the impediments evolve during government-sponsored (i.e., engineered) university-industry collaboration (UIC). In this paper, we address the previous gap by analyzing the dynamics of social capital dimensions during the preformation and postformation stages of UIC. The paper relies on a unique context that comprises five embedded case studies of UIC for technology transfer: the Faraday Partnership Initiative, a UK government-backed novel scheme for enhancing innovation. The analysis shows that the impact and interaction of the dimensions were not static but rather varying over-time. Further, we present a new value creation framework for social capital through mapping its power in reducing the intensity of difficulties emerged during the collaboration lifetime. We also identify two facilitating factors as critical in creating and maintaining social capital in engineered UIC. The present study thus contributes to a deeper understanding of the value of inter-organizational social capital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining best practices, empirical studies and the authors’ own research on technology transfer offices (TTOs), technology transfer, ecosystems and scientists in the principal investigator role, this book presents a business model framework for TTOs. From a practitioner’s perspective the business model framework captures key elements of TTOs’ strategic and operational activities that are needed for effective management and leadership. Moreover, the frameworkaddresses central issues including strategy, organisational structure, staff and resources, activities, mechanisms, policy and procedures, and evaluation and outcomes, while also consideringcontextual factors that directly and indirectly affectTTOs, namely thecommercialisation culture and ethos,as well as researchers’ commitment, awareness and motivation. For each element of the framework, the book outlines the key success factors and facilitating factors that enable effective technology transfer.

Book excerpt: This book discusses the rapidly growing interest in economic diversification through partnerships between industry, university and government (IUGP), with a focus on the economic diversification of the state of Qatar. It provides a comparative account of the knowledge ecosystem in the USA, Norway, Singapore and Qatar, and offers an evolutionary, national economic-transformational perspective on legislation, institutional and cultural settings, intermediary structures, and support programs. Providing a broad overview of the knowledge ecosystems in these countries, it is suitable for readers at various learning levels. It also includes case studies and a concise comparison of the Global Innovation Index (GII) of the four countries, and explores in detail the under-par comparative performance of Qatar, revealing that the country is still at the engagement level of IUGP. Further, it proposes evidence-based recommendations and strategies, making it a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students and policymakers.
Download or read book Technology Transfer and Innovation for Low Carbon Development written by Miria Pigato and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological revolutions have increased the world’s wealth unevenly and in ways that have accelerated climate change. This report argues that achieving The Paris Agreement’s objectives would require a massive transfer of existing and commercially proven low-carbon technologies (LCT) from high-income to developing countries where the bulk of future emissions is expected to occur. This mass deployment is not only a necessity but also an opportunity: Policies to deploy LCT can help countries achieve economic and other development objectives, like improving human health, in addition to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs). Additionally, LCT deployment offers an opportunity for countries with sufficient capabilities to benefit from participation in global value chains and produce and export LCTs. Finally, the report calls for a greater international involvement in supporting the poorest countries, which have the least access to LCT and finance and the most underdeveloped physical, technological, and institutional capabilities that are essential to benefit from technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niger is a landlocked country situated in West Africa. It is bordered by many countries including Nigeria to the south, Mali and Burkina Faso to the west, Algeria and Libya to the north, and Chad to the east. Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world with a predominantly rural population of approximately 21 million people. It has a diverse ethnic population consisting of Hausa, Zarma, Tuareg, and Kanuri among others. French is the official language of the country, but other languages such as Hausa and Zarma are also widely spoken. Niger's economy is mainly based on agriculture with approximately 80% of the population employed in farming. It is a major exporter of uranium which contributes significantly to the country's economy. However, Niger is faced with many challenges including poverty, drought, food insecurity, and political instability. It is also one of the countries at high risk of climate change and environmental degradation. Despite these challenges, Niger has made some progress in terms of development with improvements in healthcare and education. However, more needs to be done to improve the country's economy and to provide basic services to its people.

Download or read book Web based Education written by Anil Aggarwal and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful use of information and communication technologies depends on usable designs that do not require expensive training, accommodate the needs of diverse users and are low cost. There is a growing demand and increasing pressure for adopting innovative approaches to the design and delivery of education, hence, the use of online learning (also called E-learning) as a mode of study. This is partly due to the increasing number of learners and the limited resources available to meet a wide range of various needs, backgrounds, expectations, skills, levels, ages, abilities and disabilities. The advances of new technology and communications (WWW, Human Computer Interaction and Multimedia) have made it possible to reach out to a bigger audience around the globe. By focusing on the issues that have impact on the usability of online learning programs and their implementation, Usability Evaluation of Online Learning Programs specifically fills-in a gap in this area, which is particularly invaluable to practitioners.
