The Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) will be having their annual meeting on March 18-20, 2010.  AUTM collects most of the standard metrics related to university technology transfer which are used in the United States.  Although the National Science Foundation has proposed beginning collection of some data in this area, that effort did not receive final approval in 2009. 

A couple of things which looked interesting to me on the AUTM annual meeting agenda:

I hope that the first ever AUTM debate, addressing the role of inventors in the academic commercialization process, would be of interest to readers of this site as well. I believe that AUTM continues to take steps in their educational events to address all sides of controversial or complicated issues, hoping to raise the level of discussion and understanding for everyone's benefit.

There is a second debate scheduled at the 2010 AUTM annual meeting, addressing the pros and cons of patenting genomic inventions.
