Description
Summary:In the Federal Republic of Germany the transfer of knowledge depends on a disposition of the basic law: "Art and science, research and teaching are free." But this legal device is not respected. Transfer of skills and techniques is a matter of socioeconomic interests and political influence. Therefore it is important to study the factors that promote or disfavor the transfer, such as: the diversity of interests between researchers and those who coordinate the orientation of research in view of their own interests, the mechanisms for distributing the means, and the researchers participation in the system. /// Le transfert des connaissances repose en République Fédérale d'Allemagne sur un article de la Constitution: "l'art et la science, la recherche et l'enseignement sont libres." Mais cette disposition n'est pas respectée. Le transfert du savoir-faire et des techniques est une affaire d'intérêts socio-économiques et d'influence politique. Il importe donc d'étudier les facteurs qui rendent accessibles ou impossibles les transferts, tels que: diversité des intérêts entre les chercheurs et ceux qui coordonnent l'orientation de la recherche en fonction de la satisfaction de leurs propres intérêts, les mécanismes de répartition des moyens, la participation des chercheurs au système.
