Dinámicas de conocimiento entre la industria y universidades en la nanotecnología mediante simulación basada en agentes

Abstract

La transferencia de tecnología y conocimiento juega un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de las ciencias aplicadas como la nanotecnología. El presente trabajo estudia las dinámicas de conocimiento entre la industria y la universidad en el campo de la nanotecnología, mediante un modelo basado en agentes desarrollado para el efecto. Se implementó el modelo propuesto en el software NETLOGO y se ejecutaron simulaciones sobre diferentes tipos de escenarios con el fin de estudiar el papel que juegan las colaboraciones, la financiación estatal y la estrategia de colaboración en el desempeño del sistema de innovación en nanotecnología. De los resultados de las simulaciones, se concluye que las colaboraciones conservadoras son clave para la nanotecnología, así como la financiación estatal durante sus primeras etapas de desarrollo. / Abstract.
