Abstract
National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) was started 3 years ago. It established the technology transfer policy in which technology transfer was decided as duty of researchers. Collaboration department was set with over 100 staffs. Collaboration scheme was improved drastically, for example, incentive to researchers is 25% of license fee rewarded with no upper limit and entrusted research is acceptable flexibly and promptly. These improvements resulted in extreme increase of entrusted research and license fee. Collaboration coordinators at AIST mainly work for matching of needs from outside and research seeds of AIST using their humannetwork. The coordinator is required the sense of speed and sincerity. The maintenance of the number of talented coordinator will be the problem at AIST in future.
