Transportation

• Close involvement of company technical contributors with graduate students and faculty

• Based on common technical interest

• Free flow of visitors

• Common view of importance of patents, I.P.

• Flexible arrangements

• 3-8 companies about right

Characteristics of Successful Industrial Consortia

Building University-Industry Partnerships- Lessons Learned

• Use patents to enhance relationship, not as a revenue source.

• Make sure University researchers focus on longer-term, precompetitive, multidisciplinary research.

• Let technical agendas bubble up rather than being driven top down.
