■講演概要
Policymakers in the US and elsewhere have adopted a series of reforms designed to encourage technology transfer from universities to firms and technology transfer is becoming increasingly common in the US. However, the university system in the US is pluralistic and the technology transfer process has a large degree of local autonomy. The result is a system with
significant heterogeneity. In this lecture we will review the technology transfer policies and practices in the US. We will also discuss some of the issues these new practices have raised and recent attempts by the technology transfer community to address these issues.
米国を含む先進諸国では大学から企業への技術移転を促進するための政策が導入され、現実に積極的な技術移転が展開されている。米国における技術移転について幾つかの事例（スタンフォード大学等）が有名ではあるが、米国の大学システムは高度な自治性で特徴付けられ、技術移転の様式も大学ごとに多種多様である。本講義では、米国における技術移転の政策と実践をレビューした上で、現在の制度がもたらした幾つかの問題点とその是正に向けた施策について議論する。
