Transferência tecnológica: um modelo de referência para máquinas e equipamentos agrícolas projetados no âmbito acadêmico

Abstract

The family farm, developed in smallholdings, has an important role in economic and agricultural productive chain in Brazil. One of the options for reducing the agricultural labor is the availability and adequacy of the means of production (machines, implements and installations) properly to the family farms, since they having differentiated material bases, they also need social-economics and distinct agroecosystem management. Because of these facts, there’s a increasing of opportunities for developing agricultural equipment at the universities and research institutes. For these equipment get to the market, it’s necessary to make the technological transference between university and company. In this context, this paper presents: a research for assessment of the technical profile metallurgical industries installed in the cities of Pelotas, São Lourenço do Sul, Canguçu and Morro Redondo; the elaboration of a technological transference model between university and company. The metallurgic technical profile was set after structured questionnaires application in companies. The result showed that companies present technical conditions and the necessary equipment to produce the products developed at the university. Finally, was developed a fluxogram that makes it easier to visualize the technological transfer process between university and company.
