Objective
A major problem facing research organisations in Europe is how to link research teams and capacity to the needs of industry. Most solutions so far have been on an empirical, ad hoc basis. A more structural solution is the development of industrial liaison offices staffed by people with experience in research and procedures, and capable of identifying subjects for matching research resources with the needs of industry. Currently, however, there is no formal training for developing such professionals. This project aims to fill this gap through the development of a training package offering new qualifications to scientists and engineers seeking a career change.
Following the definition of the Industrial Liaison Officer job profile, partners will develop training package curriculum and materials. Curriculum content will include subjects on R&D and technology management, technology audits, marketing, technology transfer and brokerage, patents licensing, EU policies and innovation.
Training materials will include course materials and methodology for each subject area, specific tools for questionnaire development and data collection and processing, and a multimedia package for self and/or distance learning. Materials will be tested with scientists and engineers from participating organisations and be evaluated for further adaptation and finalising. Project results will be disseminated via the web, specialised journals, seminars and workshops.
Impact
The project will lead to the development of innovative training programmes, strengthen university/industry cooperation, and promote career development for scientists and engineers.
