| Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new profession often referred to as the Technology Transfer Professional. Technology transfer professionals apply various skills to accomplish the transfer of technology. Various competencies are needed in order to support technology transfer activities. For example, legal competencies; marketing and negotiation competencies; team work competencies; innovation competencies; and knowledge management competencies. |
| This conference is designed to revisit these concepts and to explore new technology transfer practices and skills in light of the emergence of the profession of technology transfer. |
| In particular, the conference will examine the emergence of the technology transfer profession, and the impact on the practice of technology transfer at the organizational, regional and national level. We will consider the roles that technology transfer associations play in shaping the profession and bringing knowledge to professionals as the practice changes. |
| The conference will bring together insights from research, practice and policy making at various levels. In particular, we seek to stimulate a discussion following the results and the conclusion of the EC CERT-TTT-M project, which will be presented during the conference. |
