AUTM and Beyond The AUTM Annual Meeting in San Diego was fascinating, as they always are. Here are some thoughts and observations from spending a few days in San Diego last week … Almesha L. Campbell, Ph.D., RTTP, HonNAI Campbell has done an outstanding job as Chair of AUTM, welcoming everyone, and developing AUTM’s connections around the world. Well done and Thank you. Is it all about spin-outs now? Nearly, but not quite, is my current thought. In the old days it was: Patent and License. Now it is: Spin-out (mainly). There are many reasons for this, to be explored in another post (and some exceptions of course, there always are). “Research Results for Sale” – how often do we think of TT as a retail operation, or even wholesale? It is what we do: we sell research results. How often do we look at how retail operates, sales, marketing, advertising, and transfer some of these practices into our business? Everyone wants a fund. Fair enough, eyes wide open etc. One observation – there are three moving parts: (a) the deal flow (you, the university, universities, research centres) (b) the fund manager people, and (c) the money. Nothing happens until (b) is in place and (a) and (b) and (c) are all comfortable with each other. Often (a) and (c) are willing, but there’s no (b). Nothing happens until you have (b), and good (b)s are hard to find. Knowledge Exchange is getting broader and broader and broader, and associations trying to address and support this breadth will be spread thinner and thinner. In the UK, the response to this has been TenU popping up to focus on hard-core commercial technology transfer as PraxisAURIL has spread itself more broadly. Very similar to how Unico popped out of AURIL in the early 2000s; as AURIL spread, the commercial TT people wanted more focus. Team Science, Citizen Science – Collaboration around the world and local participation are increasing in many research areas. Establishing ownership and securing freedom to transfer (FTT) requires more and more back-office, support work in Research Offices and TTOs. Remove the obstacles – why do researchers get frustrated with your office? Ask them, find out, and respond. In one place the answer was MTAs and CDA/NDAs taking so long – so they reallocated resource and built a specialist unit to fix this. Smart. (Now researchers can get frustrated with something else … joking!) And finally - it rained in San Diego – who knew!? 😁 #technologytransfer
