Elaboração e implementação piloto de um portal para o apoio à cooperação científica e tecnológica e sua aplicação à área de tratamento de superfícies metálicas.
Resumo
The globalization and the Communication and Information Technologies
(CIT´s) have been, respectively, increased the demand and facilitated the
existence of cooperation associated to innovation, research and development
(R&D). In Brazil colaborative actions in R&D, particularly among companies
and universities, are limited due to cultural and historic reasons. By the other
hand, despite the Internet to be a TIC recognized by its capacity to integrate
people and institutions, the current portals also have mechanisms yet incipient
for the stimulus to cooperation in R&D. This occurs in large and small
technological areas like Metallic Surface Treatment (MST). The present work
aims to promote the innovation by implement, in a pilot scale, an Internet portal,
to act in the linkage among people and institutions that are responsible by the
R&D in MST. The results indicated that portals like this give relevant
contributions to the R&D´s sectorial processes facilitating the diagnosis and the
strategic direction of collective actions to overcome problems related to
innovation, besides the generation as of information and ideas for R&D as of
synergy and trust in cooperation, allowing to the sector to take advantages of
cooperation to improve its R&D.
