abstract = "Different salient trends in university-based technology initiatives in the United States and Europe are discussed. The growth in private and public investment in university-based technology initiatives has raised important policy questions regarding the impact of such activities on researchers, universities, firms and local regions where such investments occur. The outcomes of research collaborations between industry scientists and university scientists are explored. It is concluded that the career paths of academic scientists and engineers affiliated with university research centers are quite difference than those characterized in the standard literature on career transitions of researchers.",

note = "Funding Information: Finally, Albert Link and John Scott investigate the conditions when a research joint venture (RJV) will involve a university as a research partner. They hypothesize that larger RJVs are more likely to invite a university to join the venture as a research partner than smaller RJVs because larger ventures are less likely to expect substantial additional appropriability problems to result because of the addition of a university partner and because the larger ventures have both a lower marginal cost and a higher marginal value from university R&D contributions to the ventures{\textquoteright} innovative output. The authors test this hypothesis using data from the National Science Foundation sponsored CORE database, and those data confirm the hypothesis. Funding Information: In many countries, governments have provided support for these initiatives through legislation to facilitate technological diffusion from universities to firms (e.g., Bayh-Dole Act of 1980), indirect incentives to engage in collaborative research (e.g., National Cooperative Research Act of 1984), direct subsidies for research joint ventures involving universities and firms (e.g., European Union's Framework Programmes and the U.S. Department of Commerce's Advanced Technology Program (ATP)) and shared use of expertise and laboratory facilities (e.g., National Science Foundation's Engineering Research Centers, Science and Technology Centers, and Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers). National, state and regional government authorities have also provided support for science parks and incubators. ",
