Abstract:
Knowledge and Technology Transfer between a university and economic operators affects innovation and growth of competitiveness, as well as the development of a knowledge-based society. In the structures of Wroclaw University of Technology, regarded as one of the best and the most innovative technical universities in Poland, a number of units responsible for a wide understanding cooperation with the economy have been established. To avoid dispersion of various activities, competences and information, Wroclaw University of Technology has started to implement a technology transfer system. A Contact Point for Technology Transfer has been established in the Center for Scientific and Technical Information. It coordinates activities of all the organizational units of the University, as well as people who fulfill tasks concerning technology transfer, commercialization and cooperation with the economy. The paper discusses the activities of the Center for Scientific and Technical Information related to knowledge and information transfer, including guidance of commercializing research results, patent information and assistance in the purchase of innovative solutions, as well as intellectual property generated at Wroclaw University of Technology.
