Abstract

In the third mission (TM), once scientific validation through research has taken place, content specificity is of little importance so that technology transfer (TT) and public engagement (PE) in very different fields could, with very high probability, be similar in form, process and media used. The real difference between PE and TT is that the former aims to reduce sterile ignorance as much as possible, while the latter invests where fruitful ignorance opens horizons. It is good to have a view of the overall scenario of the systemic model (aka “academic capitalism”) in which the three missions are placed. TT fits into the third one. Without this overview, the risk of a proletarianisation of the scholar would be high within a process, whose upstream and downstream stages he or she ignores.
