Sistematização processual da transferência de tecnologia no contexto dos Institutos Federais de Educação

Abstract

The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IFS), created with the proposal of being a reference model in professional and technological education, are educational structures with high impact transforming the social reality where their campuses are inserted. After one decade of its creation as Federal Institutes, IFs find the challenge of implementing technology transfer in their context as a real demand. Considering the potential of IFS in the generation of technologies that meet the local productive demands of the communities where they are inserted and the importance of a rapid response to the productive sector, it is necessary to establish a standard flow of technology transfer procedures to be used in order to allow the application in the other IFS that have not yet reached this level of maturity. It was established as a methodology for this analysis the search in the INPI databases regarding patents and technology transfer contracts in order to identify the institutes that stand out as patent depositors and in technology transfer agreements registered with INPI. Based on this identification, a data collection was done in the IFS in order to verify which models and administrative practices related to the transfer of technology are adopted. It concludes by demonstrating the lack of institutionalized operational procedures for technology transfer in the FIs analyzed, proposing a standard operating procedure model that can be applied to the administrative processing of technology transfer contracts.
