Περίληψη

Assessing the exploitation potential of university research is needed to improve the efficiency of a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and to increase chances of picking up and supporting viable entrepreneurial projects. The paper proposes an assessment method that jointly looks into the technology and the commercialization perspectives of research exploitation projects. The commercialization perspectives are further subdivided to criteria characterizing the market opportunities and management team. The method is applied to an ad hoc TTO in the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA). In addition to selecting exploitation projects proposed by AUA researchers, the method is also used to design support services for the research teams during the commercialization process. Relating the assessment outcome to the support of exploitation is a topic that received limited attention so far. In the case of universities that are about to start investing in technology transfer, the proposed approach can assist management to define strategies and corresponding services for academic entrepreneurship that are in line with the organization’s research profile. For more mature technology transfer environments, the method can be used to diversify the services of the TTO, by including forms of interaction with industry and businesses better serving the research community.
