Study of science and business cooperation

In a nutshell

Knowledge and technology transfer is considered as a major driver for innovation in high-tech industry. How efficient does university-industry cooperation work in practice? Is the innovation potential that is generated by scientific researchers known at companies in key-industries? What are barriers hindering and which success factors are fostering the dyad between scientists and commercial R&D managers?

We conduct wholistic and in-depth studies illuminating both perspectives and evaluating measures that are feasible to bridge the gap between academia and industry. This contributes to unleash innovation potential and let the society participate in the merits of scientific research.
