In the last years new interdisciplinary approaches to economics and social
science have been developed. A Thermodynamic approach to socio-economics has
brought to a new interdisciplinary scientific field called econophysics. Why
thermodynamic? Thermodynamic is a statistical theory for large atomic system
under constraints of energy[1] and the economy can be considered a large system
governed by complex rules. The present job proposes a new application, starting
from econophysic, passing throughout the thermodynamic laws to interpret and to
described the Technology Transfer (TT) activities. Using the definition of
economy (i.e. economy[dictionary def.] = the process or system by which goods
and services are produced, sold, and bought in a country or region) the TT can
be considered an important sub-domain of the economy and a transversal new area
of the scientific research. The TT is the process of transferring knowledge,
that uses the results from the research to produce innovation and to ensure
that scientific and technological developments could become accessible to a
wider range of users. Starting from important Universities (MIT, Stanford,
Oxford, etc) nowadays the TT is assuming a central role. It is called the third
mission, together with education and research. The importance to provide new
theories and tools to describe the TT activities and their behavior, has been
retained fundamental to support the social rapid evolution that is involving
the TT offices. The presented work uses the thermodynamic theories applying
them to Technology Transfer and starting from the concept of entropy, exergy
and anergy. The output analysis should become an help to make decision to
improve the TT activities and a better resources employment
