ACADEMIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND KNOWEDGE AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER:
How do they relate to Research, Teaching, and Universities as Organizations?
11-12 April 2016,
Science Park, University of Kassel, Germany
Spin-off entrepreneurship, patenting, licensing and other activities of knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) from universities to the private sector have attracted considerable scholarly attention. A large number of studies from a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds have investigated these activities. These prior efforts notwithstanding, important questions about academic entrepreneurship, commercialization and knowledge and technology transfer are still unanswered. This conference aims to help develop answers to these questions. In particular, contributions are invited that study how academic entrepreneurship, commercialization and transfer relate to research, teaching (including entrepreneurship education), as well as the nature and development of the university as an organization.
Organized by: Guido Bünstorf, Georg Krücken, and Christian Schneijderberg
