ROBOTT-NET: How to design a European technology transfer network for robot technologies?

A systematic approach for regional and trans-cluster knowledge and technology transfer which can be used by research and technology organizations to create a European technology transfer network for robot technologies is presented. The EU-funded project ROBOTT-NET developed and has been testing the approach over a period of approximately 3 years. As a result over 1500 people visited robot open labs, more than 300 people were taught about new robot technologies, over 70.000 people watched videos related to robotics and more than 100 technology transfer projects were conducted. A total of over 12 person years' worth of knowledge was transferred between regional innovation clusters within these technology transfer projects.
