**Understanding how to better evaluate technology at various stage of development**
As part of the European funded Trans2Tech project, The Münster University of Applied Sciences is in the process of a completing a model for the evaluation and development of technology. As part of this task, we are conducting an international survey with the primary objective being to identify the most important factors in creating a successful research or technology project during its different stage of development.
The model has been built from previous research and practical work that has bee nundertaken by our Science to Business Research Centre, through theTrans2Tech partnership as well as utilizing the work completed by Louise Heslop on the Clover-Leaf Model of Technology Transfer.
We are seeking responses from a variety of different groups within thetechnology transfer process including gathering the opinions of industry,research and venture capitalists especially (as well as other groups involved in technology transfer) in order to increase the relevance of the information gathered.
Why answer this survey?
- You will be substantially contributing to developing new knowledge in the assessment of research and technology projects.
- Your organisation will be able to receive the results of the survey andsubsequent publications about the research project.
The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. Of course, your data will be kept confidential. If you are interested in the findings, please enter your email address at the end of the questionnaire. You will receive the results of the survey and subsequent publications about the research project for free.
You can access the questionnaire through the following link:
