Emilio, to my knowledge there is no standarized indicators related to this issue. There has been quite some work in this area conducted by the RICYT, the Centro REDES (CONICET) and the INGENIO Institute (CSIC-UPV). A draft can be found here: http://www.observatoriocts.org/files/Archivo%20Documental/Documentos%20de%20proyectos/indicadores_de_vinculacion.pdf

The closest data already gathered would be the RICYT indicators (http://ricyt.org/indicadores). Patents and some other indicators are available there.

Another source of data are the national offices of Science and Technology, where such are available. That can be tricky to, the Argentine MinCyT for instance, offers some data, but it isn't exactly what you need (http://indicadorescti.mincyt.gob.ar/indicadores.php). It also might be a good approach to compare some representative institutions, if the data you can gather is able to be compared.

Dear Emilio,

You are probably aware of the publications on the topic I listed below. Maybe you can contact the authors, as they might know about datasets.

Maybe this publication we wrote on Chile may also provide links: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262945214_The_emergence_and_functioning_of_innovation_intermediaries_in_maturing_innovation_systems_the_case_of_Chile

Best wishes,

Dear Emilio Alvarez-Suescun 

Greetings from CTF NMIMS Deemed to be university 

This center was established in the year 2007 to prepare the Technical Human capitol required  for the Modern textile Industry. This was necessitated  because of the shift in Textile Industry in India to rural area from Mumbai. Technical  People were not available to work in Modern Technology in rural Area. Shri Amrish R Patel Chancellor  who established Modern Textile Industry in this cotton growing area  has initiated this Institute. Need based learning with practical emphasis has been the curriculum partnered with Senior Technical People  as Mentor to each of the specialization . 

Capacity building , grooming was done sustametically leading to technical ability in students passing our from this Institute with 100% placement. 

 Industry partnership in education  lead 20 publication in important problems faced in the modern Textile Industry. Thus finding solution by Technical students in the final year in association with Mentors. This kind of association made Technical graduates ready to work form the day one in Industry. Thus Technical  diploma graduates were converted into supporters on the production flower with ability to give solutions to the problem on the spot.  CTF s  first batch of Diploma  students worked for the  Solutions for the production floor problems thus developing their practical ability to work with technical knowledge in the present technology available in the Modern Industry. Each of the students graduating had one publication to his credit under the senior Mentor in Textile Industry. 

This success story of giving employment to rural youth is shown in the paper attached .  Most of the important papers are uploaded in Research Gate for your perusal.

Indutry participation is very essential . Subsequently 200 Diploma  students are working in Corporate textile Industry with good career progression. Many technical papers are published by students in different subject Viz Spinning, Weaving Knitting Garmenting abd Processing .   CTF NMIMS has come out with International Journal IJTEC2015 1ssn 23953578

You can get information on this in ASEE Proactive learning and Industry participation is essentially required 

Hello Emilio,

This is my line of research now and I have noticed that there is a great demand for updated information.

Below are some links that may be useful to some researches made in Brazil that can help you.

Please, I would love to exchange information on this topic. I am researching on academic spin-offs and the trend of entrepreneurial universities.

We can exchange info about for sure.

Gisele Atayde 

Thank you so much. Please find enclosed article on successful running of the Textile school to meet  the challenges faced by the Industry in rural India 

This has created an opportunities for the village youth to get gainful employment 

Gisele, thanks a lot for the files.

Of course, we could cooperate. Our research focuses on universities' organizational characteristics to succesfully cooperate with firms. But we need to measure the degree of UIC (one of the measures would be the number and success of academic spin-offs)
