Within the scope of the research, interviews were conducted with
the participants on the subject in order to answer the question
“What is the place of technology transfer offices within the
framework of university-industry collaboration?” This study
evaluated the place of Karadeniz Technical University
Technology Transfer Application and Research Center (KTÜ
TTM) within the framework of university-industry collaboration.
In the study, qualitative research technique was used and
“phenomenology” was used as the research design. The data in
this research was examined with the descriptive content analysis
method. Analysis was conducted in RStudio in order to analyze
the collected qualitative data and determine emotional tendencies.
According to the analysis results; It was seen that KTÜ TTM
made significant contributions to raising the bar of success by
using the potential of the university and had a positive effect in
general. When similar studies in the literature are examined, it is
seen that TTOs play an important role in university-industry
collaboration. This study supports the theoretical discussions in
the literature with a practical example. Since the study provides
an evaluation specific to KTÜ TTM, it makes a local and specific
contribution to the literature by examining the effects of TTOs in
a different university and geographical region. This could fill the
gap in the literature on the functioning of TTOs across different
institutions and regions
