Technology Transfer with China: a University PerspectiveKevin De Moortel
Formal modes of technology transfer, e.g. contract research, patenting, licensing and spin-offs, are well established domestically, both in Belgium and China. When we add an international dimension to technology transfer, we see that technology transfer is present between industries. However, when we look at universities, we observe that an international technology transfer dimension is missing. This presentation sets the ground for EU-China university technology transfer.

University of Zagreb, Faculty of Organization (FOI) and Informatics launched an internship programme for students. The programme was very positively accepted by the business community. In short time we signed agreement with more than 350 companies indicating their willingness to accept students for internships. The experiences are very positive. One third of students remain employed by the companies after finishing internship. Additional befit of the programme is closer relationship with involved companies and exploration of new ways of cooperation on various projects. Recently Faculty launched startup@foi.hr programme. The idea is that all costs related to establishment and first year of operations, including location, is funded by Faculty. This form of pre-incubation attracted great attention across student community. It is interesting to notice that some of the companies accepted to cosponsor this programme in order to be close to innovative ideas. Such activities made FOI a strong regional hub for IT industry and meeting point for various projects.
FITT Toolbox: International Technology Transfer NetworksFITT
Many international networks are active in the field of technology transfer and give the opportunity to: be in touch with pairs at the international level, access to training and seminars, exchange of good practices and experiences, find partners or investors, promote an innovation and much more. The choice of the network of which you could be a member can be a challenge. The goal of this practice is to give you a quick overview of the existing organisations, and can be a guide for the choice of such a network.

International experience proves that the existence of science and technology parks brings obvious benefits – they form a platform which brings together education, research and innovation. In response to the current trends, the University Centre for Innovation, Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Protection (UCITT) of the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) was founded, which is aimed at the creation of a virtual environment at university level that will permanently support research and development in terms of cooperation between scientists and practice, and to ensure efficient transfer of knowledge, products and technologies into society and economy. The presentation is focused on the introduction of the UCITT as well as on its services such as supporting innovations, cooperation with commercial sphere, innovative project activities, start-ups and spin-off companies. Further on, several activities of the UCITT will be also presented by which it creates and supports structures helping to implement innovative solutions and approaches.

RTU has been purposefully developing to become the 3rd generation university that provides high quality education, ensures excellence in research and carries out innovation and technology transfer. The sustainable innovation and commercialization is a new objective declared in RTU strategy for 2014-2020. The university needs implementation of new support structures and tools to facilitate relationships between research groups and the outside environment. There are several internal structural units (“Department of Business and Innovation”, “Innovation and Technology Transfer Centre”, “Design Factory”, “Career Centre”) and a network of external institutions where RTU is co-founder and active participant, for example: “Latvia Technology Park”, “Green Technology Incubator” and other.
RTU provides the mandatory course “Product Development and Design” (6-9ECTS) and internships for all undergraduate students implementing the concept “Learning by Doing” and helping in setting up their future business and acquiring investments.
The internal units ensure a one-stop agency for industrial partners and provide support to RTU’s researchers to: identify and assess potentially interesting research results; identify suitable commercialization methods and industrial partners; patent and research results; create prototypes; negotiate with companies and prepare contracts; create spin-off companies. They consult on business, design and engineering issues and carries out different activities stimulating researchers to interact with external players.
The external institutions promote market-oriented objectives of the university research and engage the university in strategic partnerships with stakeholders form business, national and regional authorities, other universities and research centres.
The presentation explore functioning and interaction of main players of commercialization process, shows the latest RTU achievements.

A vendor is someone who buys from a miner and resell it to a holder or crypto whale.
Here is the telegram contact of my vendor:

The anatomy of EIPE
• Intensive internationalisation of all types of
activities
• However, one size does not fit all
• Internationalisation of each activity follows different

• Each region has a different portfolio of partners
• Some show more local orientation (within the EU),
while others have far reaching connections (US &

Consistent with theory of agglomeration and method
R&D, Innovation and business activity
equally important and observable
BUT DIVERSITY DOMINATES
EIPE are the main hubs in local, European and global
networks
Asymmetrical dependencies oppose the image of
disconnected peripheries
Network position matters
Excellence builds on high
performance across all activities
Strong clustering
of ICT activities
Top EIPEs are the epicentres of EU ICT activities
Which extend beyond their local boundaries
And network globally
Excellence is scarce
Some implications
Germany distributed, France centralised….
Probably echoes the historical/institutional roots
National patterns appear
Epicentres identified at NUTS3 level
Economic rationale guides a geographical spread
Spatial agglomeration respect
no administrative boundary
