Abstract
Auburn University is fulfilling its mission to provide research-based knowledge through technology transfer partnerships with the private sector, entrepreneurial communities, and the state of Alabama. The Auburn Technology Transfer Partnership Model represents long-range planning and alignment of economic development goals between Auburn University and the city of Auburn. A detailed description of this seven-dimensional model is presented, along with the dynamics of philosophical partnership beliefs, change and growth patterns, public and private sector coordination, and day-to-day logistics.
