International Perspectives on Framework Conditions for Research and Technology Transfer

International Perspectives on Framework Conditions for Research and Technology Transfer In this report.

The Danish Council for Research Policy summarises a review of framework conditions for research and technology transfer in a number of selected countries. The aim of the review has been to establish 1) whether differences in the design of legal, organisational, and financial framework conditions and 2) whether the application of explicit success criteria and consistent impact assessment might feasibly explain the perceived low success rate of technology transfer from public research organisations in Denmark compared to a number of similar countries/regions.

On the basis of the comparison of the countries/ regions reviewed, the Danish Council for Research Policy concludes that it has not been possible to detect any differences in the framework conditions of a nature and magnitude that can explain the perceived differences between Denmark and other similar countries.

The council has compared framework conditions for technology transfer in Baden-Württemberg in Germany, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore and Switzerland.
