It has the potential to offer solutions for a number of health and resource-based problems the world is facing, such as unmet medical needs and fossil fuel dependency. Considerable effort and investment has been expended in recent years to try and improve the outcomes of technology transfer in order to fulfill this potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents seventeen best-practice case studies on the topic of effective technology transfer in biotechnology. The selected case studies focus on technology transfer offices, funding models, incubators, education and clusters. Each presents an overview of an initiative that was deployed in Europe with the aim of supporting and stimulating the transfer of biotechnology discoveries and technologies from research laboratories to society. Readers are provided with a critical assessment of each initiative and policy makers, entrepreneurs, cluster managers and research institute managers will find inspiring lessons they can draw on when developing and implementing similar initiatives elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese cases are the product of research undertaken as part of the ETTBio (Effective Technology Transfer in Biotechnology) project, co-financed by the European Union (ERDF — European Regional Development Fund) and made possible by the INTERREG IVC Programme. ETTBio commenced in January 2012 and concluded in December 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTechnology Transfer Office (TTO):\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 1: A Look Inside Imperial College's TTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 2: Technology Transfer at VIB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 3: The Creation of a New Technology Transfer Office\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 4: A Model for IP Transfer and Shareholding for University Spin-Offs: The \"Dresden Model\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFunding:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 5: Environmental Success Factors of Imperial College's TTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 6: The Industrial Research Fund\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 7: Regional Innovation Vouchers as an Effective Tool for Supporting Technology Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 8: Public Funds for Patenting, Valorization and Science-Industry Collaboration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIncubators:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 9: The Imperial Bioincubator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 10: Idea Lab — A Platform for Students to Develop New Ideas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEducation:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 11: Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer Education at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 12: BioEmprenedor XXI: Guidance Program for Starting Up and Growing Companies in the Life Sciences Arena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 13: Education for Scientists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eClusters:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 14: The Biocat Model: Managing the Bioregion of Catalonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 15: The Effects of a Cluster on a Spin-Off — The Foundation of Ablynx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 16: Brokerage Event: Matching International R\u0026amp;D projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Study 17: The DRESDEN-concept: A Focus on Shared Services and Facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy makers, entrepreneurs, cluster managers and research institute managers in biotechnology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on effective technology transfer in the European context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology specific focus on biotechnology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifies and provides a detailed examination of best practice case studies in technology transfer across Europe.
