Abstract: This article presents one analysis of the management of green technology transfer within the context of Brazilian public universities. The study aimed to evaluate the existing practices and identify areas for improvement in the dissemination and absorption of environmental technologies. The research methodology employs an applied and exploratory approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. The study applied a tool specifically designed to assess and support technology managers in the green technology transfer process. This tool incorporates eleven dimensions, including People, Process, Budget, Relationship, Integrated Management, Research and Development (R&D) in Green Technologies, Intellectual Property, Valuation, Commercialization, Environment, and Society. To analyze the effectiveness of the developed tool, a diagnosis was carried out in the Brazilian scenario. The survey identified and evaluated 413 university-registered groups that are actively involved in green research. The collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques such as Pearson's linear correlation coefficients, multivariate analysis, and factor analysis. The findings highlight several gaps and challenges in the green technology transfer process. These gaps present opportunities for improvement and call for universities to develop strategic measures to address them. Collaborative efforts with Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) and research groups within the institutions are also crucial in bridging these gaps. The study concludes by urging universities to adopt strategies that focus on reducing identified gaps and promoting sustainable collaboration between academia and industry in the field of green technology transfer. Overall, this research points to the current state of green technology transfer management in Brazilian public universities, providing valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing the process and driving sustainable innovation in the country.
