Show full description
… Technology and Innovations, universities and research institutes, technology transfer offices, industry and investors. The Ghana Innovation and Research Commercialization Centre is intended to facilitate commercialization and create standards and processes for technology transfer across this ecosystem, but presently lacks a statutory mandate, a sufficiently defined coordination role and sustainable funding arrangements. The assignment shall therefore clarify institutional responsibilities, interfaces and accountabilities across the three workstreams: 1. Ghana Research Commercialization Policy: a coherent national framework for moving publicly funded and other research outputs through intellectual-property protection, validation, financing, technology transfer and market adoption, while strengthening collaboration among research institutions, industry, investors and government. 2.

PACSTI operationalization: practical support to establish effective governance, operating procedures, meeting arrangements and follow-up mechanisms for the Presidential Advisory Council on Science, Technology and Innovation.,
