Towards a new transfer model for public purpose

CLIPP's mission is to push the frontier of technology transfer toward public value, driving innovation that opens up possibilities and enables unlikely but necessary outcomes to transform how organizations operate, influence public policy, and reconfigure the systems that sustain social life.

Knowledge must reach and flow to those who can effectively deploy it, package it, and convert it into developments that have value for society.

CLIPP Transfer Model

The CLIPP Transfer Model is based on the recognition that producing knowledge is not enough: it must be converted into organizational, territorial, and social transformations. Faced with the limitations of the linear transfer paradigm—centered on the unilateral circulation of knowledge, the competitive logic of patenting, and a focus on high-tech sectors—the CLIPP model proposes an approach oriented toward the public purpose, based on co-creation with social and productive actors, the opening up of knowledge, and experimentation in real environments. This approach integrates open science, goal-oriented funding, and mixed and socially responsible licensing, allowing scientific and social innovations to advance from prototypes and minimum viable products to validation and scaling with public impact.

Advising Program

This program addresses coordination failures, information asymmetries, and adoption barriers that often prevent socially valuable innovations from reaching their potential impact. To this end, it supports teams in testing processes in controlled environments (TRL4), operational integration in user institutions (TRL7), and preparation for scaling through mixed and socially responsible licensing mechanisms, oriented toward public value and open science.

Certification Agency

The CLIPP Certification Agency consolidates a public-purpose-oriented evaluation model designed to ensure that innovations—technological, social, and institutional—meet standards of effectiveness, traceability, and social value. This mechanism operates as a natural extension of the transfer process, certifying results at different stages of maturity (TRL) and validating their relevance, replicability, and sustainability in real environments.

Advanced Transfer

The CLIPP Advanced Transfer brings together innovations that have passed the initial stages of prototyping and validation and have sufficient evidence for integration into real operating environments. These projects have demonstrated methodological relevance, scalability, and verifiable results in public institutions, territories, or management systems.

IME

The Multidimensional Effectiveness Index (IME) is a technological innovation that anticipates the performance of policies and programs using a risk algorithm applied to supply. Developed in the Fondef project No. 17I10033, it integrates eight analytical dimensions—from intersectoral coordination to program trajectories—allowing for the observation of failures, identification of warning signs, and monitoring of progress and setbacks in real time.

Its intelligent platform facilitates institutional self-observation, generates alert and effectiveness typologies, and translates complex information into exportable graphs and indicators to support timely decisions.

  • Opción: Project seeks to strengthen the management and evaluation of social programs. It allows for accurate measurement of institutional performance and identification of opportunities for improvement.
  • Hospital de la Florida: The Dr. Eloísa Díaz Hospital promotes a comprehensive social and healthcare model. It incorporates the Multidimensional Effectiveness Index (MEI) to strengthen management and continuous improvement.

DdUT

The Digital Time Use Diary (DdUT) is a technological innovation developed by the Millennium Nucleus Labofam to study the daily organization of time and the inequalities that permeate it. Based on the international ELiDDI standard and adapted to the Latin American context, the DdUT integrates the Cautal categories and allows users to record primary and secondary activities using an intuitive "select and drag" system. It incorporates information on context, support, satisfaction, and community and political participation.

The platform operates with login, assignment of reporting days, and an interactive visualization module that provides each participant with a personalized graphic summary, strengthening ownership of the process. Its digital design reduces costs, increases accuracy compared to traditional surveys, and facilitates real-time data collection.
