131 million scientific research funds, but the results have been converted to 0. Why is the patent conversion rate of Chinese universities so low?

131 million scientific research funds, but the results have been converted to 0. The reasons for the low patent conversion rate of Chinese universities are as follows:

1. First, the market conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements of universities is low. One university has received a cumulative financial investment of 179 million yuan in scientific research funding, and implemented 702 scientific research projects. Only 5 project results have been transformed into the market, accounting for 0.71; one university has received a cumulative financial investment of 131 million yuan in scientific research funding, and implemented 862 scientific research projects. , and achieved 0 achievement transformations.

2. Second, the focus of science and technology project establishment in colleges and universities is not focused enough. The three universities implemented 2,075 scientific research projects, including 811 small thesis-type scientific research projects with a budget of less than 100,000 yuan, accounting for 39.08%.

3. Third, the remaining funds for scientific research projects are idle. The net balance of scientific research project funds in 4 universities was 66.8228 million yuan, which had been idle for a long time and had not been liquidated in time; 22 scientific research projects in 2 universities prepared scientific research project budgets that were deviated from actual needs, and the deviation between the budget and actual expenditure reached as high as 69.24, resulting in 9.1402 million yuan of idle funds.

4. The patent conversion rate of universities refers to the efficiency of institutions of higher learning in converting patent results into practical commercial applications. It is not just a rigid number, but reflects the direction of scientific research results of universities from the laboratory. market, the ability to create economic value. It is no accident that universities are trapped in a low patent conversion rate. First of all, the complexity of scientific research management in universities leads to scattered and disorderly scientific research funds, which cannot form scale effects.

Analysis of the patent conversion rate of universities

Taking data from the Guangxi Audit Office as an example, the 131 million yuan in financial funds obtained by a university was allocated to 862 scientific research projects, on average Each project can only receive about 150,000 yuan in scientific research funding. In contrast, DJI, known as the "Patent Maniac", has invested 16 billion yuan in R&D funds and applied for more than 4,600 technology patents. The R&D investment behind each patent is 3.478 million yuan.

Secondly, many university research is basic scientific research and lacks translation value. For universities, the funds applied for are exploratory, but they play a vital role in promoting science. The results of knowledge innovation are mainly published academic papers, not patents.
