Research commercialisation in Europe: a matter of governance of university TTOs

The project is a study into the various models of organisation and management of Technology Transfer Offices at universities in Europe. We found that different models may have their influence on the technology transfer of patents and research results. An international survey was organised to collect data about their involvement with research commercialisation from individual scientists directly. The unit of analysis in this research is a scientist, which has been engaged in RC with or without the services from TTO staff in the years between 2010 and 2015. The collected data have been categorised by TT governance model and TTO location
