Summary: | The last decades have witnessed important advances regarding integration and participation of women in the scientific field. Thus, assuming the significant growth in the number of women in universities in Brazil reveals they may be more engaged in work related to the field of Science, Technology and Innovation, in this article we see how that participation has happened within Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) located in Scientific and Technological Institutions (STI) in the state of Sao Paulo, through quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the women in this field. The purpose was to discuss the themes permeating the current relationship between university-industry considering the number of women in the innovation process, as well as how a study of this nature can be a tool for further discussion and/or participation of women in the development of Science. Keywords: Women and Technology Transfer Offices; Gender and Science; Women in TTOs; Gender and Innovation As ultimas decadas presenciaram avancos importantes no que diz respeito a insercao e participacao das mulheres no campo cientifico. Entretanto, estudos demonstram que essa participacao ainda e menor que a masculina, indicando que as mulheres nao avancam na carreira cientifica de forma igualitaria. Partindo do pressuposto de que o crescimento expressivo do numero de mulheres nas universidades do pais revela que a mulher pode estar mais engajada em trabalhos relacionados ao campo da Ciencia, Tecnologia e Inovacao, neste artigo verificamos como esta participacao tem acontecido na atuacao dos Nucleos de Inovacao Tecnologica (NITs) das Instituicoes Cientificas e Tecnologicas (ICTs) paulistas, atraves de levantamento qualiquantitativo das mulheres neste campo. O intuito foi debater o tema permeado pela relacao atual de universidade-empresa considerando o numero de mulheres neste processo de inovacao, e como um estudo dessa natureza pode ser ferramenta para maiores discussoes e/ ou participacoes das mulheres no desenvolvimento da Ciencia.
