Abstract

The last decades have witnessed important advances regarding integration and participation of women in the scientific field. Thus, assuming the significant growth in the number of women in universities in Brazil reveals they may be more engaged in work related to the field of Science, Technology and Innovation, in this article we see how that participation has happened within Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) located in Scientific and Technological Institutions (STI) in the state of São Paulo, through quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the women in this field. The purpose was to discuss the themes permeating the current relationship between university-industry considering the number of women in the innovation process, as well as how a study of this nature can be a tool for further discussion and/or participation of women in the development of Science.
