  3. 1. Academic Knowledge Transfer : A new Role of Universities The key in a knowledge-based economy  linking knowledge production and knowledge use  Growing significance of academic knowledge transfer Knowledge production Knowledge production Knowledge use Science Technology Innovation University Industry

  4. 1. Academic Knowledge Transfer : A new Role of Universities Europe / North America Cultural preservation 1st Academic Revolution 18-19c Creation of new Knowledge 2nd Academic Revolution 1980s- Transformation of research into products / new enterprise Source : Etzkowitz etal.(1998)

  5. 2. Universities in Korea Korea Higher education 1st & 2nd Academic Revolution 1990s- Creation of new Knowledge & Academic Knowledge Transfer to industries

  6. 2. Universities in Korea • Trend of R&D Expenditure by agent Million Won Source : sts.ntis.go.kr

  7. 3. Policies Linking Academic Knowledge with Innovation • Government Policies promoting U-I links

  8. 4. Policy Outcomes and the Limits • In 2003,Korean government legislated「Enforcement decree of the promotion of industrial education and University-Industry collaboration act」 • Establishment of U-I collaboration management units at universities • Among 433 universities in Korea, 369 universities have U-I collaboration management units (4-year Universities 78.4%, 2-year colleges 99.3%) Source : Ministry of Education and Science Technology, National Research Foundation of Korea (2012, 2013)

  9. 4. Policy Outcomes and the Limits • University technology transfer Source : Ministry of Education and Science Technology, National Research Foundation of Korea (2012, 2013)

  10. 4. Policy Outcomes and the Limits • Patent applications and registration by Korean universities • Korean universities applied for 12,586 domestic patents, and 1,060foreign patents in 2011 • Korean universities registered 7,619 domestic patents, and 567foreign patents in 2011 Source : Ministry of Education and Science Technology, National Research Foundation of Korea (2012, 2013)

  11. 4. Policy Outcomes and the Limits • Strong science & technology infrastructure in Korea • Korean science infrastructure ranked 7th in 60 competitive countries by IMD World Competitiveness Rankings 2013(2 levels down from the previous year) • Korean technology infrastructure ranked 11th (3 levels up from the previous year) • Relatively weak knowledge transfer from universities to industries • Korean knowledge transfer from universities to industries ranked 27th (2 levels down from the previous year) Source : IMD (2013)

  12. 4. Policy Outcomes and the Limits • Academic Technology Transfer Performance (2011) Source : Lee and Kim, STEPI Insight No. 123 (2013) Data collected from 2011 Report on Universities’ Industry-Academia Cooperation (2013), AUTM Survey 2011(2012), Tokyo University CASTI (2012)

  13. 5. Current Efforts & Future Plan of the Korean Government • Accelerating technology transfer & commercialization Goal Fostering technology transfer from universities Strategies Reinforcing Commercialization planning and support • Reinforcing research/technology planning • Support overcoming barriers in the early stage of commercialization • Enhancing the capabilities of technology transfer intermediaries • Strengthening open innovation strategies to promote commercialization Building infrastructure facilitating commercialization Past Future • Research/Technology planning for technical upgrade • Lack of support for early stage of commercialization • Closed commercialization • Research/Technology planning for commercialization • Strengthening support for Follow-up research and early stage of commercialization • Open innovation Source : Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (2013)

  14. 5. Current Efforts & Future Plan of the Korean Government • Promoting utilization of research results • [Goal] Fostering basic research & promoting utilization of research results to intensify practical connection between University-Industry-Government Research Institute (U-I-G) and improving the technology transfer from university research (13.8% in 2010 →20% in 2017) • [Action plan] • Reorganizing the incentive system for U-I-G collaboration • Promoting the use of outstanding basic research results • Encouraging regional U-I-G network • [Reason] Open innovation for efficient use of deficient regional innovation resources and promoting commercialization • [Goal] Fostering commercialization in order to enlarge regional U-I-R collaborative network • [Action plan] • Promoting regional U-I-G collaboration to commercialize regionally specialized technology • Fostering regional SME customized collaboration

  15. 5. Current Efforts & Future Plan of the Korean Government • LINC : Leaders inINdustry-university(college) Cooperation • Policy goal : sustainable U-I links by university system reforms and stronger network building between universities and industries • [Inside universities] Fragmentary programs → Comprehensive/systematic packaged support • [Outside universities] Motivate industries’ participation in U-I collaborations and support demand-oriented U-I links • Support diverse models of U-I links • [Technology innovation type] Technology transfer/Commercialization • [Regional network type] Human resource development to meet regional industries’ demand Universities Universities Industries Industries Past Future ▶ Regional demand-oriented ▶ Technology innovation Operation of U-I collaboration program Bottleneck Technology development Provision of Experiment practice equipment/facilities Operation of U-I collaboration program Institutional Alignment for U-I links Curriculum reform Curriculum reform Provision of Experiment practice equipment/facilities Bottleneck Technology development Institutional Alignment for U-I links -Job search, employment -U-I convergent education ▶ Comprehensive, systematic ▶ Strong U-I links ▶ Isolated, fragmentary ▶ Weak U-I links Source : Ministry of Education and Science Technology, National Research Foundation of Korea (2012)
