Análise do impacto dos projetos de interação entre a UFRGS e a PETROBRAS

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the impact promoted by interaction projects between UFRGS and PETROBRAS, fostered by sectorial funds and government incentives. Research and Development (R&D) projects from the academic units of UFRGS were investigated based on a survey and statistical multivariate analysis, assessing the innovation and impacts associated with the projects origin, company's demand, research's initiative and background. The research not only explores implicit and tacit aspects existing in the academic and scientific knowledge, but also proposes knowledge and innovation aspects that have been found to contribute to knowledge transfer.
