“…Besant and Rush (1993) elucidated that it involves any type of activities and processes through the incorporated products, processes or knowledge which are passed from one user to another. Bukala (2008) and Gervais, Marion, Dagenais, Chiocchio, and Houlfort (2016) argue that the TT is a combination of activities that requires multidimensional approach and interaction instruments between two or more organizations during a knowledge or technical producing process to create a new product or service. Cruz and Bezerra (2017) add that the TT must be understood as the process of dissemination and exchange of information, matching technology with needs and creative version of items with new applications.…”

“…Phan and Siegel (2006) argue that TTC can potentially result in financial benefits for the universities. It happens mainly when the universities are interested in maximizing their social return on public investment in research and in the effort to improve their self-sustenance (Gervais et al, 2016), creating revenue, which is typically reinvested in academic research (Chapple et al, 2005).…”

“…Even though the UITT looks like an easy process, many attempts have been unsuccessful. Previous studies (Wright et al, 2004;Bekker & Bodas-Freitas, 2008;Bozemann, 2000;Crespi et al, 2007;Gervais et al, 2016;Markman et al, 2008;Perkmann et al, 2013;Wallin et al, 2014) demonstrated that some technologies have difficults to achieve the market.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the TT between university-industry from a Brazilian perspective, with special reference on the university Intellectual Property-IP and TT legal instruments. The methodology was designed on a quantitative approach aiming to provide a better understanding of the problem. Secondary data collection was performed through documentary analysis that aims to identify and quantify the variables related to patents, licensing and TT agreements. Later, data are grouped, classified and treated, which allowed inference and interpretation. The results show that the TT between university-industry is in an embryonic stage in Brazil, even if occurred a considerable increase of IP required over the last few years. In this context, it is possible to affirm that the academic research outcomes are not being absorbed in an effective way by the industries, and, as a consequence, just an insignificant percentage of the patents go to the market.

“…Ce qui n'est pas étonnant puisque selon Dagenais et al, (2008) ainsi que Gervais et al (2015), il existe une confusion entourant le concept de transfert de la connaissance. Plusieurs définitions traitent ainsi de dimensions sous-jacentes au transfert, ces dernières semblables ou divergentes selon les postulats: place accordée aux activités de production et de diffusion des connaissances, type de connaissances à prioriser, degré d'importance allouée à l'interactivité ou au partage de savoirs dans le processus (Gervais et al, 2015 …”

Le transfert des connaissances issues de la recherche s’impose comme un champ d’investigation incontournable dans plusieurs domaines. Tant en santé, en sciences sociales, humaines et appliquées qu’en éducation ou en gestion, des recherches visent à réduire le fossé entre les connaissances produites et ce qui est observé dans la pratique. Découlant d’une recension des écrits publiés entre 2007 et 2013, le présent article propose de situer le transfert des connaissances en éducation au regard de ce qui se passe globalement dans les autres domaines. Il en aborde les distinctions ainsi que les défis et les perspectives.The transfer of research knowledge has become a key area of investigation in a number of fields. Whether in the health, social, human and applied sciences, in education, or in management, research continually seeks to narrow the gap between the knowledge that is produced and the realities that are observed in practice. Based on a review of the literature published between 2007 and 2013, this article sets out to situate knowledge transfer in education with respect to what is going on globally in other fields. Accordingly, the text addresses distinctions as well as challenges and prospects.La transferencia de conocimientos procedentes de la investigación se impone como un campo de investigación ineludible en varias áreas. Tanto en la salud, en ciencias sociales, humanas y aplicadas como en educación o en gestión, las investigaciones tienden a reducir la brecha entre los conocimientos producidos y lo que se observa en la práctica. El presente artículo es el resultado de una revisión bibliográfica publicada entre 2007 y 2013. Tiene por propósito ubicar la transferencia de conocimientos en educación referente a lo que sucede globalmente en las demás áreas. Trata de las distinciones así como de los desafíos y perspectivas que implica esa transferencia

“…[5][6][7][8] "Knowledge translation" (KT) is a term utilised to explain the activities involved in translating healthrelated research findings into practice. 9,10 It is defined as "a dynamic and iterative process that includes the synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically sound application of knowledge to improve health, provide more effective health services and products and strengthen the healthcare system". 11 It attempts to assure that stakeholders or "knowledge users", are familiar with, using and accessing research findings and engaging them as active participants in the research process.…”

Rationale, Aims, and Objectives Effective translation of knowledge that is generated from health research into clinical practice has the potential to enhance the quality of care, health services delivery, and its cost-effectiveness. Critical barriers limiting translation of health research into practice are embedded both at the individual and the organizational level. An understanding of the embedded facilitators and barriers will enable findings from health research to be implemented into practice in a timely way. This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence from existing reviews about barriers and facilitators that influence the uptake of health research findings into clinical practice. Method A systematic review was conducted by following PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Sciences, and CINAHL databases were searched to identify review papers published from inception to February 2020. The innovative care for chronic conditions was the analytical framework for data analysis. Results The search yielded ten publications. Translation of new evidence was limited predominantly by individual-related issues and less frequently organizational factors. Inadequate knowledge and skills of individuals to conduct, organize, utilize, and appraise research literature, and lack of resources were the primary individual and organizational challenges. This review also discloses mistrust by policymakers about the potential of research to translate into practice, affecting both the development of health policies and also systematic public investments for research programs. A sizable proportion of mistrust by the policymakers stems from their lack of knowledge for understanding research methods and limited skills in comparing research outcomes. To circumvent this barrier, identification and partnering with policymakers and health professionals at all stages of the research process, is critical. Conclusions Despite the challenges affecting the translation of research into practice, utilization of research evidence is critical to improving health services delivery and outcomes.
