Design of Success Criteria Based Evaluation Model for Assessing the Research ...Waqas Tariq
Innovations and inventions are not outcomes of single activity of any organization. This is a result of collaboration of different partners. Collaborated research of university and industry can enhance the ability of scientist to make significant advances in their fields. The evaluation of collaborated research between university and industry has created the greatest interest among the collaborational researchers because it can determine the feasibility and value of the collaboration. This paper intends to illustrate the evaluation metrics and success criteria- based evaluation model in between university-industry in their collaborated research. For bridging the model, the success criteria have been identified based on key evaluation metrics. A successful Collaboration of university and industry is not dependent on any single metric but instead on the confluence of multiple metrics from the growth of basic research to commercialization. This study is intended to provide different evaluating metrics to impound the research collaboration constraints between university and industry, and design success criteria to upsurge the successful linkage. For this purpose we have developed constraints and success criteria based evaluation metrics (CASEM) model. The proposed model is appropriate for almost all types of collaborations specially research collaborations between university and industry. By adopting this model, any university or industry can easily cross the threshold in the grown-up research collaborational community.
In this presentation we show the results of a case study in which we tried to analyze the extent to which business funds received by universities correlate to the university-industry co-publications. The case study focuses on the technical university of Valencia.

Strategy for Technology Transfer and Research Results Commercialization in Un...YogeshIJTSRD
In the globalization stage, there has been an increasing interest in the determinants and outcomes of successful technology transfer and commercialization of research results. In this study, An evaluation framework which crosses technology transfer services and research results commercialization in University has been created. We found that research based business idea generation increase at a faster rate for professors with private sector work experience who have more time for research in their positions. The article ends with a discussion of our empirical findings and its implications for support activities related to technology transfer and commercialization of research results.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. Why do Governments Have R&D Policies?
Social Return > Private Return
Private Sector Under-invests in R&D? Why? –
Difficult to Evaluate and Fund Some Types of Research
External financing means revealing ideas
Benefits so diffuse recipients hard to organize or identify
Need large organization for implementation/commercialization, but such organizations not necessarily good innovators
Standards-related R&D-public goods nature of standards
National Security and/or Strategic Industries
“Ripe” for technical advance
Closely linked to other industries
Enables program in many other industries (e.g. semiconductors)
7. Why do Governments Have R&D Policies? (cont.)
Education/human capital and imperfect human capital markets
Individuals facing differing financial constraints in investing in human capital-equality of opportunity argues in favor of education subsidies
Externalities for society from human capital formation by individuals (assuming they do not capture all the benefits in their wages).

Academic vs. Surrogate Entrepreneurs
Different Ways to Manage University-Based
Incubators and Science Parks
29. Recommendations Based on Studies of Academic Entrepreneurship
Stressing Entrepreneurship (As Opposed to Patenting and Licensing) Promotes Technology Commercialization and Enhances Economic Impact of University
Strong Need to Enhance Incentives for Faculty Members to Be Engaged in Entrepreneurial Activity (and Perhaps For Successful Ones to Serve As Mentors)-Including P&T
More “Open” Immigration Policy for Scientists and Engineers Promotes Academic Entrepreneurship
30. Recommendations Based on Studies of Academic Entrepreneurship
Important to Increase Participation/Success of Women & Minorities in Academic Entrepreneurship (as we found in the NRC Evaluation of SBIR)
Entrepreneurship Research, Education, and Community- Based Initiatives Are Key Complements
Important To Develop An Entrepreneurial Culture at the University and in the Local Region (More on That Later)
Corporate Partnerships Yield Better Results With Respect to Academic Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship As An Academic Field
Entrepreneurship (2007) vs. Strategy (1989)
Returns to Studying This Topic Are High (e.g., NSF- IGERT, Kauffman, development/fund-raising for the university)
