This is another typical case of university teachers and researchers being accused of crimes in the transformation of scientific research achievements. In recent years, the state attaches great importance to the transformation of scientific research achievements and has introduced many measures to encourage researchers to implement the industrialization of achievements. However, due to the lack of corresponding transfer and transformation mechanism of achievements, researchers directly promote the transformation of achievements and face practical risks. The case of Fu Lin attracted attention because it exposed the embarrassment of researchers in the transformation of scientific research results.
Practice shows that the industrialization of university teachers and researchers directly using their own scientific research results will not only involve interest disputes, but also be detrimental to the industrialization of scientific research results. In order to promote the industrialization of scientific research achievements, teachers and researchers in colleges and universities often have to set up their own companies to promote the transformation of achievements, which will bring two problems. First, how to "separate" the company's operation from the project research. In recent years, many cases in which scientific researchers have been prosecuted are mostly related to the establishment of "affiliated companies" to conduct research and transform research results. Researchers are accused of using affiliated companies to embezzle and misappropriate research funds.
Secondly, it seems that teachers and researchers in colleges and universities can get the greatest benefit by directly implementing transformation and management, but they need to devote their main energy to this achievement and it is difficult to carry out other research. At the same time, due to the lack of business experience, it may lead to the transformation of results and management failure. It can be seen that in the process of scientific and technological achievements transformation, it is the most unprofessional and inefficient way to directly promote and implement the transformation by university teachers and researchers.
The truly win-win or win-win industrialization mode of scientific research achievements is that professors do what professors do, enterprises do what enterprises do, and intermediaries do what intermediaries do. On the one hand, when conducting applied scientific research, researchers should deeply understand the market demand, adhere to market orientation and demand orientation, and combine research with industrial demand, so that the research results have industrialization prospects.
On the other hand, the roles and responsibilities of scientific researchers in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements are clearly defined, and the results are piloted and incubated by professional institutions, and then mass production is carried out by enterprises after successful incubation. The value of the results can be evaluated through the pilot test and transformation of the results by professional intermediaries, and researchers can benefit from the transfer of the results. If the continuous support of researchers is needed in the transformation of achievements, universities can give researchers a choice, such as consulting and technical guidance in enterprises for a period of time, and then choose between continuing to be professors and staying in enterprises after this period of time.
The implementation of this model can effectively give play to the respective advantages of researchers, intermediaries and enterprises. For researchers, more energy can be concentrated on scientific research, and at the same time, there is a good mechanism to promote the industrialization of achievements, so that they can get due benefits from industrialization, which not only eliminates the concern that researchers are difficult to promote the transformation of achievements, but also allows researchers to avoid falling into the "interest trap" of the transformation of scientific research achievements.
In April last year, the General Office of the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting the Transfer and Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, proposing to improve the service functions of technology transfer institutions, improve the functions of various platforms such as technology property transactions and intellectual property transactions, and promote the effective docking of scientific and technological achievements and capital. The technology transfer institutions and technology property rights trading and intellectual property rights trading platforms here should be intermediaries specializing in the transformation of scientific research results. Only by giving full play to the service function of such intermediaries in the transformation of scientific research achievements can we provide professional services to promote the transformation of scientific research achievements and help them eliminate the risk of falling into the "interest trap".
Still need more rewards to improve enthusiasm.
