Abstract

The last few decades have been marked by changes in the research scenario evidenced by the formation of collaborative networks and also more interaction in academia and industry. In this context emerged new structural arrangements such as sharing equipment in technological research and development laboratories identified as multi-user, core facilities and technology platforms. The aim of this study was to know about the sharing of equipment within those structures at an institution of national research in Rio de Janeiro and compare it to other institutions with similar degree of recognition in São Paulo by checking similarities, problems, challenges, operations and management. Units of public institutions were evaluated and it was observed that despite the similarities of the characteristic main processes and the institutional difficulties faced by the public administration mechanisms it was found differences in the facilities management.
