Putting Knowledge into Use
Abstract Details: Academic Knowledge Transfer (KT) occurs in many ways, from training graduate students to engaging in the translation of research into technologies that can be licensed to commercial companies. As one moves from the traditional dissemination of research through people, publications and presentations to that of prototypes and intellectual property, how one approaches the relations between teacher and learner changes. This includes changes in how one structures and positions research for adoption by commercial learners. In this presentation, Dr. Jones will share on the changing patterns around research and its commercialization. While there is no one solution to engaging with partners, there are patterns and approaches available. There are also patterns and approaches to avoid. Examples from a variety of universities will be referenced to demonstrate how some of the approaches can be adopted in the roles of researchers and their tech transfer office in moving knowledge into use.
