2. Background

Innovation and technological development are important competitive advantages in an increasingly globalised setting. The contribution of public research organisations to innovation and the welfare of the Central European economy is a key concern,

However most regions and states lack well-functioning technology transfer organisations capable of supporting academic-based innovations and their transition to the markets.

In particular problems are typically related to:

Unclear policy and legal frameworks

Lack of motivation of research institutions and of researchers

Lack of qualified personnel managing the technology transfer process

Lack of networks to regional, national and international resources, industrial partners

and venture capital

3. Objectives

Overall objective is to unleash the innovation potential of the higher education and research

institutions of CE through the development and validation of a technology transfer model,

adapted to the situation of the partners and characterised by transnational co-operation.

The specific objectives can best be achieved through trans-national co-operation because it helps in

1.Achieving a critical mass of innovations

2.Bundling competences, resources and networks

CERIM links 10 organisations in 7 different Central European regions with interest in

technology transfer – universities, consulting companies and private, public or semi

public technology transfer institutions.

5. Target groups

1. Technology Transfer Institutions (TTIs)

TTIs support academic based innovation. TTIs in Central Europe need to develop more effective models and

networks. Total target group size is ca. 300.

2. Research institutions and researchers

Are the source of innovations and need support in valorising their research. Here close co-operation of TTIs and

researchers is crucial. Roughly estimated 30.000 researchers conduct market relevant research in Central Europe

- the project addresses ca. 15.000 and shall involve ca. 1.000 actively.

3. Policy makers

A favorable policy framework is key to successful technology transfer. Policy makers often lack insight in

innovation processes. The project will enhance mutual learning by connecting policy makers, researchers and

TTIs.

4. Indirectly also SMEs/industry is a target group but outside of project actions.

11.04.23 CERIM – Project Presentation

CERIM links 10 organisations in 7 different Central European

regions with interest in technology transfer.

Through this wide trans-national co-operation will CERIM bundle

competences, resources and networks as well as reach the critical

mass of innovations.

The overall objective is to develop a tech transfer model for the

Central Europe area, and to valorise this model with concrete

cases coming from regional researchers.
