Assessing the socio-economic impact generated by the transfer of knowledge derived from public research

The document highlights the limitations of traditional indicators, such as the number of patents or licensing revenues, in measuring the actual impact of research and intellectual property. It also suggests ways to better track the trajectory of intangible assets and intellectual property, from their creation through to their use by businesses and end-users.

The white paper makes several recommendations aimed in particular at improving governance, data collection, and commercialization and transfer capabilities, in order to better document the value created by public investment in research.
