18 TTO IMPACT & VISIBILITY 3 STAGES OR GENERATIONS INCLUSIVE ACTIVITY STAGE 3 UNIVERSITY WIDE ACTIVITY STAGE 2 ISOLATED ISLANDS OF ACTIVITY STAGE TIME

19 Stage 1: Isolated islands of activity Technology transfer emerges and is tolerated as an activity within academia No best Practices, but lots of experimenting & learning Situated at the PeriPhery of the academic activity spectrum Activities not taken into account when assessing academic Performance Focus on legal issues, no integrated business model, fragmented vision on the TTO business, limited organizational capabilities and structure

20 Stage 2: University wide activity Technology transfer becomes a third mission, alongside education & research, though not mutually integrated with those activities APProPriate best Practices emerge, capabilities develop and grow Creation of a Professional organization, not any longer at the PeriPhery, but fully embedded within the academic activity spectrum Activities are taken into account when assessing academic Performance Full scope business model, integrating legal IP business development regional development dimensions, into the TTO..

21 Stage 3: Inclusive activity Full fledged professional organisation, embedded within the university, possessing the necessary degrees of freedom to achieve its mission Mission is not any longer alongside education & research, but is more holistic, active cross-fertilisation amongst the 3 activities is promoted, pursued and sought after Advent of inclusive & entrepreneurial innovation platforms within the university, by nature cross-disciplinary via the TTO From business development to business genesis & creation Direct & interactive impact on entrepreneurial & innovative dimensions within education & research

22 Conclusions (1) for the governement: create more autonomy and introduce more accountability and more subsidies based on output quality measurements 15 % of the above budget is fixed Education portion in the subsidy is half based on the number of students and the students outcome; the other half is based on the number of scientific papers, citations and other quality measures.

23 Conclusions (2) For the government: There must be sufficient level of funding: education and science is the most important duty to society and the best investment for the future. Support autonomy and shared balance governance.

24 Conclusions (3) for universities: results driven approach accountability and quality of different services (education, basic research and support of the society) quality based on international standards freedom of speech vs. unlimited academic freedom

25 Conclusions (4) For universities: benchmarking with top American and European universities Strong and creative universities promote and support excellence in teaching, learning, research innovation and support of the community.
