Objectives
• To investigate, define and classify a set of criteria for TT
activities measurement
• To provide a set of indicators and metrics for PROs in PP
– overview of the situation in our institutions
– elements of comparison between us, and us vs overseas
– guidance for newcomers
– performance improvement
 How to select those indicators?
– bibliography
– adjustment to our research profile
– testing
– define the final ones

Work done
• Bibliography:
– a lot of literature on patents, but not focused on results from
academic research and RIs
– interesting questionnaires and surveys: APRU (Association
of Pacific Rim Universities), ASTP/MERIT (EU), AURIL (UK),
AUTP (US), CREST Report (EU), PROTON (EU), SWITT
(Swiss)…
• Preparation of a first questionnaire sent to a subset of
MS CERN institutions, and to overseas HEP PROs
• Result analysis (in progress) from 12 MS CERN and 5
overseas PROs

Questionnaire scope: selecting domain & PROs
1 HEP sub-domains: PP, NP, AP for the core, but also
transversal applications originated from our TT
2 Which PROs or subsets are in the scope? Up to each
to define its own scope, to be able to give most
relevant figures on HEP activity
CERN MS PRO (Public Research Organism)
Institute 1
Institute 2
Institute 3
Part devoted mainly
to PP, NP or AP

How to adjust to the right level?
• if too low: non relevant information, inadequate
coverage
• if too complex: no answer from a large part of
institutions
 a lot of discussions, and a selection of questions with
– a glossary
– a letter to explain our objectives, the process, and
that a blank answer is also significant

Questionnaire analysis
• Our PROs are too different and
the sample too small to get
general statistics
• Objectives are to provide tools:
– multidimensional diagram for
a global view
– a tool for each PRO to help in
improving by using PDCA
process (Plan Do Check Act)
Radar on indicators (example)
