ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITIES WITHIN THE SPANISH
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM
?The university is a public service that assumes
the responsibility of higher education
contributing through the generation of knowledge
to the scientific and technological growth. ? The
university is one of the agents of the innovation
system ? The Spanish Universities share the
Spanish innovation market providing scientific
and technological services to companies and

or products) incorporate value to the
corresponding research group and to the patrimony
of the University. ?The exploitation of RD
results by third parties implies some incomes as
percentage for the University

CHANNELS OF MANAGEMENT OF THE RD RESULTS AT THE
UNIVERSITIES

and resources (technological Services RDI) ?
Marketing of results (Transference of technology,
know-how, licenses...) ? Self-exploitation of
results creation of RD base companies
(spin-off)

THE VISION OF OUR UNIVERSITY ABOUT THE START-UP
OF SPIN-OFFS
? To support marketable RD results ? To
encourage young researcher to become
entrepreneurs through a specific business
training program ? To search for financial
support and physical infrastructures
