Abstract :
[en] In this chapter, we first consider the rationale for Universities to engage in research and Tech Transfer partnerships with business. Considering the third official mission given to universities, we then describe the different possibilities and channels for collaboration, including examples of frameworks and tools. Different stakeholders and intermediaries are listed, as well as dedicated programs such as Proof of concept schemes which prove particularly useful for innovation. Examples are provided from different countries showing some success factors. The conclusion insists on the necessity of a mutual understanding and a clear description of the expected objectives for each party.
[fr] Dans ce chapitre, nous examinons tout d'abord les raisons pour lesquelles les universités s'engagent dans des partenariats de Recherche ou de Transfert avec les entreprises. Au regard de la troisième mission officielle confiée aux universités, nous décrivons ensuite les différentes possibilités et voies de collaboration, et nous donnons des exemples de cadres et d'outils. Les différentes parties prenantes et les acteurs intermédiaires sont énumérés, ainsi que des programmes dédiés tels que les programmes de démonstration de faisabilité (preuve de concept), qui s'avèrent particulièrement utiles pour l'innovation. Des exemples provenant de différents pays sont fournis, illustrant certains facteurs de réussite. La conclusion insiste sur la nécessité d'une compréhension mutuelle et d'une description claire des objectifs attendus par chaque partie.
