UNIVERSITY-COMPANY INTEGRATION - AN  ENTREPRENEURIAL VISION

OGARI DE CASTRO PACHECO

Laboratório Cristália

The concept of “University-Company Integration” is ancient and amply recommended as an obvious receipt for rationalization of the available resources in the country, insufficient as in the most developing countries. However, there is an abyss between the speech and the daily experience.

The scientific production, with any discussion is definitely concentrated, basically, in the Universities and due to a question of an already implemented model are transformed in “papers”, published in Brazil as well as abroad, without being converted in tangible asset (as useful products) in the majority of time.

Referring to the Pharmaceutical Industry we must emphasize that its scientific production is performed in an almost exclusively way in the headquarters, at the country of origin, whenever we refer to the transnational companies; concerning the domestic companies’ participation, the influence is not significant, really derisory (compared to the global production).

This is the picture / scenery as a flash with no refining of the current situation.

THE WITHDRAWAL

In our understanding there is any recipe and universal magic that could be applied to everyone. We begin by searching the support for projects in the University, projects ones that we had begun by our own initiative inside our company and achieving to determined point of developing that we could not perform some tests by ourselves. The day by day relationship ended up to show us two very evident things. a) An expressive number of interesting projects in course in the Universities. b) A huge necessity of the Universities by support.

The growing necessity to analyze the merit of the applied projects candidates to receive for support ended inspiring us on the creation of a Scientific Council which is current formed by 10 professionals with different backgrounds seeking the following objectives:

1) To give credibility by the worth of the Council composition as well as the transparency which guides their judgment.

2) Multiply the consultations aiming the natural diffusion of the performed work.

3) Orientation and follow up a lot more efficient
