On September 25, 2020, the first edition of "Technology Transfer Case Workshop" of Shanghai Technology Transfer Institute (STTI) was officially opened in Shanghai International Technology Market. Chen Hongkai, Second Inspector of Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, Zou Shujun, CEO of National Technology Transfer Eastern Center, and Liu Yangang, Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University attended the ceremony and delivered speeches, and more than 40 people from universities, research institutes and technology transfer service agencies across the country participated in the interactive learning of the workshop. The opening ceremony was presided over by Liao Yuqing, Executive Dean of Shanghai Institute of Technology Transfer.

According to the feedback from the market, the demand for practical ability training for technology transfer professionals is extremely urgent. Technology Transfer Institute invites 18 senior experts from all over the country to set up technology transfer case workshops to improve the professional practical ability by means of seminars on key issues, analysis of operation points and knowledge point improvement. The course is divided into three phases, each phase lasts three days, and this is the first phase. The course invited senior experts in technology transfer such as Professor Liu Yangang from Shanghai Jiao Tong University College of Pharmacy, Wang Xiaoxu, Chairman of Nanjing University of Science and Technology Technology Transfer Center, Kang Kaining, General Manager of Chengdu Southwest Jiaotong University Research Institute, Sun Libing, Director of Technology Transfer Center of China Pharmaceutical University, Zhong Shishi, Director of Technology Transfer Center of Fudan University, and Tang Xiaolin, Founder and CEO of Kechuang Gang.

In his speech, Inspector Chen Hongkai said that technology transfer professionals are of great significance in promoting the construction of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center, but "talents are not cultivated in the classroom, but by practical training", and that the curriculum of the case workshop is quite innovative, hoping to improve the professional level of practitioners in this way. The evaluation of technology transfer talents should be measured by "transaction volume". Technology transfer talents are expected to be listed in Shanghai's directory of talents in short supply and enjoy policies related to settling in Shanghai. It is expected that Shanghai Institute of Technology Transfer will continue to optimize the course system and enrich the course content to produce more high-level technology transfer professionals who meet the market demand.

CEO Zou Shujun said in his speech that the Shanghai Institute of Technology Transfer is an important platform for the construction of the second phase of the National Talent Training Base for Technology Transfer (Eastern Center), which will train technology transfer professionals through academic and non-academic education and build a technology transfer ecosystem based on the advantages of the National Talent Training Base for Technology Transfer.

In his speech, Professor Liu Yangang said that the national science and technology talent has experienced three stages: follow, parallel and lead. The college's talent cultivation work is clearly positioned, and it needs two to three years of practice to verify the key, hoping to form Shanghai characteristics and Shanghai solutions.

After the opening ceremony, the first course was held immediately. The first day of the course was taught by Prof. Liu Yangang and Prof. Wang Xiaoxu. Prof. Liu Yangang analyzed the application of ceramic aluminum new materials in rail transportation, engine, body structure, chassis parts, and material enhancement in vehicle lightweight from the points of technology discovery, industrial application, mode design, and other operational aspects of technology transfer. And the group discussion and report that it can be in the field of building materials and valves applications highly appreciated, and said that the future of ceramic aluminum new materials at least ten years of transformation space, can create a large number of senior technical managers. Shanghai Institute of Technology Transfer will compile the contents of this issue of the case workshop, to learn by doing the actual project to train senior technical managers.

Professor Wang Xiaoxu discussed with the trainees the problem of matching the supply and demand sides of technology in the process of transferring scientific and technological achievements, shared the process and key points of selecting partners and determining the income from cooperation in the process of technology transfer, and guided the trainees to discuss the distribution of benefits after the departure of university technology inventors.

Participants actively participated in the discussion, and after the course, many participants have changed their registration from one to three courses. In the future, Shanghai Institute of Technology Transfer will also launch other thematic workshops, as well as courses for technology transfer practitioners' competency level certification and technology transfer professional qualifications, in order to enrich the content of course construction and create a number of standardized, standardized and professional high-quality technology transfer courses that meet the needs of national technology transfer talent training. In the future, Shanghai Institute of Technology Transfer will work hard to build a high-level and international technology transfer talent resource base with Shanghai characteristics to promote the development of strategic emerging industries.
