MULTIDISCIPLINARY OPEN SYSTEM TRANSFERRING KNOWLEDGE FOR R2B DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Despite many efforts, there is still a serious problem in transferring knowledge from research to business. The problem is especially visible in Poland – the cooperation of R2B is ineffective. We are trying to solve this problem using some IT support. The manuscript presents some solutions developed at the Gdańsk University of Technology. In particular, the platform called “MOST Knowledge” is deeply described. Its layer architecture, and some new services which it offers are shown. A new interdisciplinary approach is proposed to communicate and support the cooperation of these different worlds. Summarizing, a short comparison with other available platforms is included and discussed.
