Abstract

Technology transfer means connecting the university to organizations, industries, government, society and other external service sectors, in order to present and supply the knowledge and technology produced in the university for use by users and to solve social problems, it is always one of the most discussed and challenging issues of universities and It has been communities. This issue has seen different periods. In this research, in order to facilitate the communication of Comprehensive university of Imam Hosein (as) with external users and specifically, the organization appropriate to this university, by using the action research method in the panel of experts, the general model of the university's communication ecosystem was extracted and the envisaged mechanisms were put to the challenge of experts' experience. As a result, 13 general mechanisms for technology transfer were extracted and a prospective proposal for university technology transfer mechanism based on three layers of human, process and institutional ecosystem was presented. In this proposal, the technology transfer mechanism based on peer-to-peer informal networking was the focus, and the rest of the other mechanisms are proposed as auxiliary mechanisms of this mechanism.
