Chapter 8. Understanding University Technology Transfer for Nanotechnology
Larry Gilbert and Michael Krieger
At first blush a straightforward process, commercializing the results of university research depends on many factors coming together “just right,” and in a hospitable environment. Because the variability of the actors and elements in the process tends to dominate any idealized model of successful technology transfer, this article focuses the unique features of the components rather than the process per se.
Universities are a wellspring of nanotechnology discovery, with the dominant portion supported by the federal government as it puts ever-increasing public funding into nanotechnology grant and contracts programs.[1] In contrast, corporate ...
