From Science to Business: how to transfer knowledge and technology from academia to economy? 2400-OG-EN-FSB
The course aims to introduce students from all disciplines to the field of effective innovation management, with a special focus on knowledge and technology transfer. It is interactive and project-based, using real case studies and examples from Polish and international research and development practice.
The course consists of five modules, each lasting four hours. Each module combines expository teaching methods with interactive discussions. The course integrates lecture-style teaching with group work.
Modules:
1. Introduction into the topic: key concepts in science-business relationships (technology transfer, innovation management, commercialization). What are the start-ups, spin-offs etc? Presentation of the nature of the course, expected workload and results.
2. Key frameworks for ‘Science to Business’: between scientific freedom and state-driven research (Responsible Research and Innovation, Open Science, Sustainability Development Goals, Innovation Systems, Social Impact Assessment)
3. Sustainable Transition Management
4. How to plan technological development? Strategic foresight and technology assessment
5. Group projects presentations
The core of the course is the preparation of projects by groups of 4-5 students. The projects should contain a clear plan for transforming a technological invention into a business case. Consultation on the students' work will be an important part of each meeting. The projects will be presented during the final module (outline has to be consulted with the lecturer at the last meeting before the final one)
