Some of us are listening. So you k...Keep talking. Some of us are listening. So you know, I found your blog through an rss search feed from feedster that I keep for the term "tech transfer" and "technology transfer". <BR/><BR/>I am in charge of marketing technologies for my university, and it is quite a task. From my talks with others at AUTM, it is a difficult task for everyone. Part of it, I believe, you've hit on in reference to the web sites being terrible. I have our new one done soon (about 80% at this point), which hits every one of your points and others, except the publications - I will have to visit this idea, sounds good. Would appreciate your feedback - publicly on the blog is fine, when done. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you could talk more about the process you go through for finding technology. AUTM has these sessions full of discussion about how univ offices market technology, but noone from industry talks about their perceptions of efforts to get technology to them. For large offices, the common theme is throw money at it. For small offices, the common theme is to send out lots of abstracts to anyone who will listen, in a semi-targeted shotgun blast method. It's a matchmaking game, not a spamming effort, and any insight from both sides of the fence should help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
