In September, Creso Sá, Andrew Kretz and Kristjan Sigurdson presented findings from research conducted on technology transfer activities of the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ at the 25th annual Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER) conference in Belgrade, Serbia. In the presented paper, The Institutionalization of Technology Transfer in Canada: The Roots of Research Commercialization at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, authors Creso Sá, Andrew Kretz and Kristjan Sigurdson explore how the routines, practices and orientations towards technology transfer evolved at the University from their beginnings in the late 1910s, up to the emergence of the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ Innovations Foundation in the 1980s. The paper presented in Belgrade is the first in a series of resulting from archival research and interviews conducted at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ on the emergence of technology transfer activities in the Canadian context at Canada’s largest research university.
