Abstract

This article presents one analysis of the management of green technology transfer within the context of Brazilian public universities. The study aimed to evaluate the existing practices and identify areas for improvement in the dissemination and absorption of environmental technologies. The research methodology employs an applied and exploratory approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. The study applied a tool specifically designed to assess and support technology managers in the green technology transfer process. This tool incorporates eleven dimensions, including People, Process, Budget, Relationship, Integrated Management, Research and Development (R&D) in Green Technologies, Intellectual Property, Valuation, Commercialization, Environment, and Society. To analyze the effectiveness of the developed tool, a diagnosis was carried out in the Brazilian scenario. The survey identified and evaluated 413 university-registered groups that are actively involved in green research. The collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques such as Pearson's linear correlation coefficients, multivariate analysis, and factor analysis. The findings highlight several gaps and challenges in the green technology transfer process. These gaps present opportunities for improvement and call for universities to develop strategic measures to address them. Collaborative efforts with Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) and research groups within the institutions are also crucial in bridging these gaps. The study concludes by urging universities to adopt strategies that focus on reducing identified gaps and promoting sustainable collaboration between academia and industry in the field of green technology transfer. Overall, this research points to the current state of green technology transfer management in Brazilian public universities, providing valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing the process and driving sustainable innovation in the country.

巴西公立大学绿色技术转移结构评估工具

本文提出了巴西公立大学背景下的绿色技术转移管理的分析。这项研究的目的是评价现有的做法，并查明在传播和吸收环境技术方面需要改进的领域。研究方法采用应用与探索相结合的方法，定量分析与定性分析相结合。该研究采用了一种专门设计的工具来评估和支持绿色技术转让过程中的技术管理人员。该工具包含11个维度，包括人员、流程、预算、关系、综合管理、绿色技术研发(R&D)、知识产权、估值、商业化、环境和社会。为了分析开发的工具的有效性，在巴西的情况下进行了诊断。该调查确定并评估了413所大学注册的积极参与绿色研究的团体。收集的数据使用统计学技术进行分析，如Pearson线性相关系数、多变量分析和因子分析。研究结果突出了绿色技术转让过程中的一些差距和挑战。这些差距提供了改进的机会，并要求大学制定战略措施来解决这些问题。与技术转让办公室(TTOs)和机构内的研究小组的合作努力对于弥合这些差距也至关重要。该研究的结论是敦促各大学采取战略，专注于缩小已发现的差距，并促进学术界和工业界在绿色技术转移领域的可持续合作。总体而言，本研究指出了巴西公立大学绿色技术转移管理的现状，为加强这一过程和推动该国的可持续创新提供了有价值的见解和建议。
