The objective of this study is to examine the interface between researchers’ motivations and interaction channels concerning university–industry cooperation. For this purpose, we conducted a case study in a medium-sized higher education institution in Portugal. Interviews with university management and documentary analysis served for data-collection. We found that the traditional service and bi...

Today’s business environment is characterized by huge competing technologies, shorter product life with advent of new technologies in an ever-increasing pace. Current business paradigm has forced industries to seek help of universities, who are considered a powerhouse of innovations and intellectual minds. This collaboration environment poses more complex problems for effectively transferring k...

This paper presents a low-power single chip WLAN 802.11a transceiver RFIC for personal communication terminal applications. The 5.2GHz transceiver RFIC is implemented in a 0.5 m SiGe technology with 16 mm die size. It consumes 110/130mA in receive/transmit mode under a 3.3V supply. The receiver path shows a 6.4dB noise figure and a -20dBm IIP3 under a maximal 67dB gain. The transmitter path OIP...

O ver the years, academic institutions, including dental schools, have become increasingly interested and involved in developing interactions with industry. The nature of such interactions has been evolving over many years, and there is a clear contrast between attitudes prevalent at the time I first entered dental school in the mid-1960s and the present. In the “early days,” dental academician...

This document reports the results of a multi-case study of university-industry research centres at a research-intensive UK university. It identifies a series of management principles that enable successful collaboration between universities and firms. The analysis is based on information gathered during interviews with 25 individuals involved in four centres, including representatives from indu...

The theme for the workshop is " Bridging the University/Industry Gap. It will provide a forum for an examination of the many types of interaction that can occur between universities and industry within the field of informatics (e.g. undergraduate projects with industry, staff exchanges) and the generation of categorizations. It will also allow an opportunity to exchange opinions and views on th...

The Triple Helix of university-industry-government relations provides a neo-evolutionary model of the process of innovation that is amenable to measurement. Economic exchange, intellectual organization, and geographical constraints can be considered as different dynamics that interact in a knowledge-based economy as a complex system. Differentiation spans the systems of innovation, while perfor...

This perspective is from that of one who has served recently at both the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It is therefore biased from the point of view of the US Government’s interest in fundamental research in information technology at these two agencies and other agencies that participate with them in Information Technology Res...

1 Mileta Tomovic, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 [email protected] Abstract The industrial involvement with universities can range from defining the goals for the entire programs to more limited involvement in a single course. This paper presents a case study on the author’s experience with industrial involvement in defining, developing and delivering graduate level course for st...

This paper concerns the Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRCs) and their influence on a sample of industrial R&D laboratories in the chemicals, machinery, electrical equipment, and transportation equipment industries. IUCRCs are centers of applied engineering within universities that are expressly designed to be dependent on industrial support, and thus to be more sensitive t...
