Characteristics of Successful Industrial Consortia • Close involvement of company technical contributors with graduate students and faculty • Based on common technical interest • Free flow of visitors • Common view of importance of patents, I.P. • Flexible arrangements • 3-8 companies about right
Building University-Industry Partnerships- Lessons Learned • Use patents to enhance relationship, not as a revenue source. • Make sure University researchers focus on longer-term, precompetitive, multidisciplinary research. • Let technical agendas bubble up rather than being driven top down.
Regional Research University Excellence: Regional Economic Development:
Summary: The Berkeley Model • Enough Money • Competition for money useful • Diverse Sources of Researchers • Different modalities & styles • Decentralized, Interdisciplinary Institutions • Bottom-up, Fundamental/Upstream Research • Both pure and applied
