3 2. Short facts CERIM is financed by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme of the European Union 10 partners operating in 7 European countries Total budget: 3.6 million euros Project duration: 36 months Objective: to develop a tech transfer model for the Central Europe area Copyright CERIM Präsentationstitel (In Ansicht/Kopf- und Fußzeile ändern) Seite 3

4 3. Background Innovation and technological development are important competitive advantages in an increasingly globalised setting. The contribution of institutions of higher education and research to innovation and the welfare of the European economy is a key concern of regions and nations. Most regions and states however lack well-functioning technology transfer organisations capable of supporting academic-based innovations and their transition to the markets. In particular problems are typically related to: Unclear policy and legal frameworks Lack of motivation of research institutions and of researchers Lack of qualified personnel managing the technology transfer process Lack of networks to regional, national and international resources, industrial partners and venture capital Copyright CERIM Präsentationstitel (In Ansicht/Kopf- und Fußzeile ändern) Seite 4

5 4. Objectives Overall objective is to unleash the innovation potential of the higher education and research institutions of CE through the development and validation of a technology transfer model, adapted to the situation of the partners and characterised by transnational co-operation. Specific objective is that the partners jointly have developed and validated a sustainable model for more efficient and effective transfer of research results to the market. The project will strengthen the economies in Central Europe by 1) creating optimal conditions for new companies and 2) fostering innovation activities in existing companies. 3) Research institutions involved in the project will benefit through higher income from industry and better alignment with industry s need.

7 6. Target groups 1. Technology Transfer Institutions (TTIs) TTIs support academic based innovation. TTIs in Central Europe need to develop more effective models and networks. Total target group size is ca Research institutions and researchers Are the source of innovations and need support in valorising their research. Here close co-operation of TTIs and researchers is crucial. Roughly estimated researchers conduct market relevant research in Central Europe - the project addresses ca and shall involve ca actively. 3. Policy makers A favorable policy framework is key to successful technology transfer. Policy makers often lack insight in innovation processes. The project will enhance mutual learning by connecting policy makers, researchers and TTIs. 4. SMEs Indirectly also SMEs/industry is a target group but outside of project actions.

11 The CERIM Self-Assesment Tool Seven capacity areas: 1. incentives, 2. human resources, 3. marketing, 4. networking, 5. IPR management, 6. licensing and 7. spin-off formation. TTI Performance Indicators Capacity Area Calculation of capacity consensus based on question scores Single Capacity Driver (question) Assessment by members of assessment team on a 5-point Likert scale Part three (optional): How far from the best TTI in terms of performance are we? Part two: Do the members of the assessment team agree on the capacity areas to be prioritised for improvement? Part one: How do the members of the assessment team valuate current practices and processes? Copyright CERIM Präsentationstitel (In Ansicht/Kopf- und Fußzeile ändern) Seite 11
