Technology Transfer And The University

Abstract

This article contains a review of current thoughts on technology transfer and the role of the university in this process. Factors which affect the rate at which technology transfer takes place are briefly reviewed. Opportunities for universities to facilitate the process of technology transfer are discussed. The increasingly aggressive role being played by universities and the risks associated therewith are noted. The conclusion is reached that, with appropriate safeguards, benefits far outweigh the attendant risks.
