University Spin-Outs…

Published in November 2010, the "University Spin-Outs" dossier is particularly interested in the creation process of university spin-outs by taking as study case Cambridge and Oxford universities.
After a presentation of university spin-outs in general (history, the American example, the UK case ...), a chapter is entirely devoted to the two British universities (emphasis on research in their operating budgets, description of knowledge and technologies transfer offices ...). The spin-outs sector from these universities is then explored in detail (financing, monitoring quality ...) and a comparison of the creation process of this type of structure between the both institutions is made.
