Abstract

Climate change, resource scarcity, and sustainability crises necessitate the restructuring of knowledge and technology transfer models. In this context, the quintuple helix model-which emphasizes the interaction between academia, industry, government, civil society, and the environment-offers a holistic approach to achieving sustainable development goals. This study explores the multi-actor and interdisciplinary collaboration mechanisms provided by the quintuple helix framework to enhance the applicability of climate-focused technology transfer. The developed methodology consists of four main stages: identifying priority areas, analyzing knowledge assets, determining stakeholder needs, and conducting stakeholder matching. Information needs on the industry and government sides were collected through focus group discussions, semi-structured surveys, and field visits. Based on the findings, disciplines working in environmentally sensitive areas were identified, and eight interdisciplinary research teams were formed. To ensure that the generated knowledge and technologies create economic and environmental value, a unique environmentally oriented database was developed, incorporating diverse stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and civil society. This study proposes a comprehensive model for environmentally responsible knowledge and technology transfer and aims to contribute to green transformation policies.

Özet

İklim değişikliği, kaynak kıtlığı ve sürdürülebilirlik krizleri, bilgi ve teknoloji transferi modellerinin yeniden yapılandırılmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, üniversite, sanayi, kamu, sivil toplum ve çevre bileşenlerinden oluşan beşli sarmal yapı modeli, sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmak için bütüncül bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, iklim odaklı teknoloji transferinin uygulanabilirliğini artırmak amacıyla beşli sarmal yapının sunduğu çok aktörlü ve disiplinler arası iş birliği mekanizmaları incelenmiştir. Geliştirilen metodoloji; öncelikli alanların belirlenmesi, bilgi varlıklarının analizi, paydaş ihtiyaçlarının tespiti ve eşleştirme olmak üzere dört aşamadan oluşmaktadır. Sanayi ve kamu tarafındaki bilgi gereksinimleri; odak grup toplantıları, anketler ve saha ziyaretleri ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda çevre duyarlı alanlarda çalışan disiplinler belirlenmiş ve 8 disiplinler arası araştırma ekibi oluşturulmuştur. Bilgi ve teknolojilerin ekonomik ve çevresel katma değere dönüşmesi amacıyla farklı paydaşların yer aldığı çevre duyarlı bir veri tabanı geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, çevreye duyarlı bilgi ve teknoloji transferi için bütüncül bir model sunmakta ve yeşil dönüşüm politikalarına katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir.
