University – Industry Link Roles

Public Administration

Industry University

M.S.P.F.

The first role of the MSP is to improve the link between Industry and University. The leadership of this activity must be done from the Industry.

The companies are responsible of the comercial targets and the evaluation of the market as well as the schedules for new products but they can´t do without the knowledge from the university and the work of the researchers.

MURCIA SCIENCE PARK

Lessons learnedUniversity – Industry Link Roles

Different speeds and schedules.

Different targets, evaluations and requirements (economic result vs knowledge).

Historical different cultures, bad approaches between them.

Science offer not clear or available for use outside the R&D organization. Difficulties to share activities in and out the university.

Very different performances from the researches with no management over them.
