Training for Science and Technology park managers
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012,

Science and Technology Parks (STPs) provide the necessary nurturing environment to generate spin-offs and start ups, increasing their survival rate though the set of services and facilities offered. The support to knowledge based companies is a core issue and concern for the European community in the transformation to the Innovation Union. The consortium takes a joint approach in tackling this challenge through professionalization of skills of STP managers, who have direct access and can impact the growth and development of start-ups and spin-offs. An innovative and comprehensive training curriculum will be developed based on wide experience in the field and input in teaching methodologies (Zernike, Meta, Funditec), incorporating existing practices (Coventry Technology Park and Tallinn Science Park), access to target groups (IASP, EBN) which can only be achieved through expertise-sharing within the consortium.The training toolkit will consist of International best practice in STPs management with elaborate case studies. Each case study will provide a roadmap methodology on how the best practice can be better transferred into another STP with guidelines, lessons learned and do’s and dont’s. Such approach will enable STP managers to adopt the best practice, taking into account the national environment. To support the training toolkit, a modular e-course with virtual coach support will be developed. The e-course will offer an entry test to determine the entry level of a trainee. Based on the results, specific case studies&roadmap methodologies will be suggested.The project directly addresses 239 STPs and indirectly 240 innovation support entities.Provision of the training to the EU STP mangers (through the efforts which consortium is willing to put in sustaining the project results) will improve their skills and interaction, enabling them to perform better, fully realizing potentials of STPs, ultimately creating jobs creation and entrepreneurial spirit.
