Business–science links and technology transfer

What is the impact of different types of knowledge transfer activities on the number and quality of business–science interactions?

Motivated by the “European paradox” (top-notch academic research but much weaker business–science links), this trial aimed to test the impact of two interventions to raise awareness of academic research and connect it to businesses. The first intervention was access to an online platform to showcase business-relevant academic research, while the second additionally involved active offline promotion activities with businesses. The aim was to test whether researchers receiving passive or active support increase the number and the quality of their business–science interactions.
