  1. Task 4.1 (WP4) – Summary of progress Enhancing reserch-industry alliances, innovation and technology transfer March 2008 – February 2009 Leader - UPM (Spain) Co-leader - CONACYT (Mexico) Lisbon (Portugal), 26-27 March 2009

  2. Task objective Activities developed in the period Methodology design and validation Gathering information Forthcoming activities Some advances... Index

  3. To identify the issues of innovation and technology transfer that characterizes the cooperation between Science and Industry in EU and LA countries. Especific foreseen activities include: Analysis of outcomes offered by the different EU-LA programs of cooperation (AL-INVEST, ALFA, CYTED-IBEROEKA, etc). Analysis at national level of information related to this topic. Elaboration of reports of the most relevant information. TASK OBJECTIVE

  4. ACTIVITIES DEVELOPED IN THE PERIOD Timetable

  5. Design of the methodology (April-October 2008) UPM and CONACYT developed a first draft of the methodology. Discussion of the first draft of the methodology in México City between CONACYT, UPM and CIRAD (24.09.2008). Design of the workshop "Successful experiences of cooperation between the Science and the Industry in European Union and Latin America“, oriented to test the methodology. Development of the workshop in México City (25.09.2008). Validation of the methodology Meetings in Brussels (12.11.08) and Buenos Aires (25.11.08). Methodology design and validation

  6. The information was collected at national level in the countries where there is an EULARINET partner (EU and LA). For EU countries, information was based on secondary sources, taking into consideration the existing reports and studies about this matter. For LA countries was necessary to know if there were information gaps relating secondary sources. A gap matrix was developed for this proposal in order to identify non-existence information. Gathering information

  7. Distribution of the information collection: EU partners (Finland, France, Germany and Portugal) sent the report based on secondary information to UPM (15.03.2009). UPM was the responsible to collect secondary information from: Spain and to the EU-non EULARINET members (Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Sweden, UK). “Horizontal” institutions (European Commission, OECD, World Bank) and cooperation programs (CYTED- IBEROEKA, ALFA, AL-INVEST). Brazil, due to thedelay in the participation of this country in the WP4 activities. LA partners (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Nicaragua and Uruguay) will send the report based on secondary information to UPM (17.04.2009). CONACYT was the responsible to collect secondary information from: Mexico and “horizontal” institutions as OEI (17.04.2009).

  8. Structure of the report: Structural framework of the cooperation Legal context Institutional structure Support cooperation policies framework Support cooperation policies Mechanisms to foster cooperation Financing cooperation International dimension of the cooperation Obstacles/barriers Best practices examples

  9. Information analysis and elaboration of the Interim Report (IR). The information analysis and the elaboration of the IR will be elaborated by UPM (16 March to 30 May 2009). Validation of the Interim Report (IR). IR report will be validated by the WP4 partners in the workshop “Opening Knots” to take place in Helsinki, Finland (17-18 June 2009). Final Report will be finished on 30 June 2009. FORTHCOMING ACTIVITIES Some advances…

  13. European models • Anglosax model (Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester) • The Cambridge Phenomena also called Silicon Fen (in reference to Silicon Valley) is home to a large cluster of high-tech businesses, especially those related to software, electronics, and biotechnology. • Nordic model (Finland, Norway, Sweden) • Universities are linked to great transnational firms in the field related to new technologies, with the highest European level in R&D investment. • Center European model (Baden-Württemberg, Baviera) • This growth model has the advantage to give rational evidence in the public collaboration policies at the regional level (Länder). • Mediterranean model (France, Italy, Portugal, Spain) • One of the general characteristic of this model is the existence of centralized research institutions: CNRS (France), CNR (Italy), FCT (Portugal) and CSIC (Spain).

  14. State Industry Academia Latin American Models? In many Latin American countries, industries and universities, formerly under strict governmental control, are gaining relative autonomy from the state. The renewed interest in science and technology policies also derived from new technological paradigms, which clearly entail a reshaped vision of science-industry links. Different schemes for university–industry cooperation could be identified State Industry Academia

  15. Industry–academia experiences in Latin America recognise two principal modalities The public entities relied on university teams to perform research and to solve problems A formal contractual agreements between university and firms are allowed Example of Brazil Telebras(telecommunication company) with Campinas University to develop optical fibresin its physics department. The formal agreements involving industry and universities shows the weak participation of private firms. To be continued……
