Promotions and Tenure: An AUTM 2020 Webinar on Current Trends and New Initiatives
Tenure and Promotion Trends: Current Initiatives to Take Commercialization into Account
Watch webinar recording here
Five years ago, the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) issued a report calling on its member institutions to include technology transfer, innovation, and entrepreneurship accomplishments in the promotion and tenure (P&T) review process. At that time, APLU had identified 40 institutions that considered tech transfer activities in making P&T decisions.
In the half-decade that followed, even more universities—public and private—have included patents, industry-sponsored research, and other related activities into P&T criteria. This session will examine a range of issues associated with including tech transfer in P&T reviews:
- Why it’s important to add tech transfer to the P&T criteria
- How to approach adding such criteria to the P&T review process
- How to determine the impact of incorporating tech transfer into P&T
For more on this topic, check out this Q&A about the Promotion and Tenure Innovation and Entrepreneurship (PTIE) Coalition.
