產學合作是許多國家最重要的科技政策之一，特別是像我國一樣缺乏研發經費的國家。自從我國科學技術基本法在1990 年實施後，研發成果商品化運用的責任與利益歸屬於大學所有。為瞭解近十餘年來，我國學研機構之技術移轉組織發展現況暨技轉人員背景，特別針對我國學研機構進行普查式的調查研究，有效問卷回收率高達80%。本研究發現：(1) 我國學研機構成立技術移轉專責單位主要以「推廣本機構研究人員之研究成果」為最主要考量。(2) 我國學研機構之技術移轉專責單位主要以二級單位為主。(3) 我國學研機構之技轉業務人員以全職人員為主，兼職人員為輔，而約聘人員比例高達64.7%。(4) 專責技轉業務人員以「理、工、農、醫」技術背景為主，其次分別為「管理」與「法律」。

In order to explore the development of the organizations and staffs of technology transfer in the universities and R&D institutions of Taiwan after the implementation of “Foundamental Act of Science and Technology” and “Act of Ownership and Utilization of Government’s Scientific and Technological R&D Outcomes”, we employed a census study in the Taiwanese universities and R&D institutions, and the rate of the valid questionnaires was up to 80%. This research had several interesting findings:(1) The main mission of the organizations of technology transfer in the universities and R&D institutions of Taiwan is to promote the R&D outcomes.(2) Most of the hierarchy level of the organizations of technology transfer in the universities and R&D institutions of Taiwan is the unit of secondary class.(3) Most of the staffs of technology transfer in the universities and R&D institutions of Taiwan are full-time. However, the ratio of the contract staffs is up to 64.7%.(4) The background of technology transfer staffs in Taiwan is mainly from the fields of
science, industry, agriculture and medicine; the next is the fields of management and law.
