In this sense, it is evidenced the forms and mechanisms of interaction university-industry, evaluation of barriers and identification of factors, motivations and benefits of the participants. Based on this research, the study has the general objective to evaluate existing barriers in academic projects directed to the transfer of technology, identifying critical variables and proposing improvements to the process. The research was conducted with the use of a case study that had as sample the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. In the Methodological procedure for the assessment of the barriers was used as tool the scale of Likert. The survey sample consisted of 36 academic projects between 2013 and 2015, randomly selected for the questionnaire.  The questionnaire was divided into two stages: the first stage contains 9 questions seeking to know the coordinator of the profile, while the second step included 30 statements about the barriers related to technology transfer process for the interviews. The results enabled the UFRN know the most critical barriers surrounding the technology transfer process which are: the excessive institutional bureaucracy, lack of search marketing culture, government bureaucracy and the lack of flexibility and meeting the deadlines set in the preparation projects. From the assessment of the barriers was also possible to propose improvements to the process in UFRN as: the implementation of an extension project continue to support improvements in the technology transfer process, providing a portal of transparency encompassing the results of the developed interaction mechanism at the university and specific changes in internal resolutions.
