Abstract

University-industry joint research is a major source of technology transfer that could increase the knowledge and capabilities of both parties. However, experience has shown that during the past five years, there has been very little number of U-I joint researches for photovoltaic technology transfer (UIJRPTT) in Thailand. This paper aims to answer the question of why there is limited number of the UIJRPTT in Thailand. The factors driving and barriers impeding the UIJRPTT were investigated to answer the question. The understanding of the factors will be a valuable contribution for the policy makers from the university, the industry as well as the government agencies concerned in supporting and solving the problems related to the UIJRPTT.
