Da pesquisa ao produto: dois casos da universidade federal de Minas Gerais que alcançaram avanços em maturidade tecnológica através de conquistas de recursos

Abstract

The World is constantly changing. New ideas, products and emerge at every moment. Research in development has also been undergoing changes. Fewer resources are used year after year on Brazilian scientific research, making their best use crucial for the continuous delivery of value to society. From this perspective, this work aims to understand which factors leads research to become products and what are the paths that leads laboratory research through a technology transfer or the development of an enterprise to sell the developed product. Through an analysis of two case studies from Minas Gerais Federal University (UFMG) from the perspective of the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) tool, the research proposes that a Resource Readiness Level (EPR from Portuguese), where resource levels need to be achieved before reaching a new level in TRL. Besides it was possible to observe that the agents that provide resources and their forms of evaluation are directly related to the achievement of new levels within the TRL.
