Major objective of EXTECH project is to disseminate knowledge about European experience in technology transfer among PhD students (young researchers), experienced researchers of the universities, administrative staff of the university R&D offices and representatives of city/regional government. Importance of this objective explained by the necessity to improve technology transfer from the universities and regional innovative infrastructure.
In order to conduct changes in technology transfer we are going to achieve the following goals:
- to disseminate the information about the European experience through training University researchers, PhD students and administrative staff of University R&D offices to carry out technology transfer according to standards of the European Union. The goal will be achieved through three summer schools. Classes will be held both by Ukrainian and by EU experts. Teaching materials (lecture notes, presentations and cases) will be developed for the summer school “European Experience in Technology Transfer for Ukrainian Universities”.
- to teach representatives of local government how to transfer technologies, how to develop innovative office, how to build regional technological maps and how to start spin offs and spin outs. This goal will be achieved through 3 trainings.
