Modelo de transferência de conhecimento e tecnologia entre universidades parceiras na mobilidade acadêmica internacional

Abstract

The KTT process is in one of the main ways to keep up to date with the technological development. With the purpose of seeking scientific and technological development, in 2011 the Brazilian government created the international academic mobility program Science without Borders (CsF), which aims to promote the training of Brazilian students and faculty through new educational and professional experiences focused on quality, entrepreneurship, competitiveness and innovation towards priority and strategic areas for Brazil. However, there is not a model to manage the scientific and technological knowledge absorbed by the students. The systematic literature review also revealed the absence of a knowledge and technology transfer model whose transferor and transferee are two universities simultaneously. So, the objective of this work is to propose a KTT model between partner universities in the international academic mobility. To achieve this goal, a field research in Brazil and France was done. In Brazil the research included ten universities that sent a greater number of students to CsF in engineering and technological areas; students from a technological university returned from CsF; non-structured participant observation in the inter-institutional relations department, and; documentary research on the CsF website. In France the research included the students returned from an international academic mobility program, and; non-structured participant observation in the international relations department and in academic activities. The results of the field survey confirm the results of the literature review, which is the absence of a KTT model whose transferor and transferee are two partner universities in the international academic mobility. At the end of the work is the KTTMUU model is proposed, which includes actions prior to the students’ departure, actions to be taken during the program, actions to obtain the feedback from students, and indicators to measure the results achieved with the TCT.
