TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic review of research on academic scientists' involvement in collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university-industry knowledge transfer, which they refer as academic engagement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion and characteristics of collaborative relationships between universities and industry are explored, and a research agenda informed by an open innovation perspective is developed. But the authors focus on the effects of university-industry links on innovation-specific variables, such as patents or firm innovativeness, and the dynamics of these relationships remain under-researched.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide evidence based on survey data for a large sample of UK investigators in the physical and engineering sciences that most academics engage with industry to further their research rather than to commercialize their knowledge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the emergence of local cross-border institutions in public governance by addressing their context, dimensions and causal underpinnings, concluding that small-scale crossborder regions have flourished in particular because of their increasingly relevant role as implementation units for European regional policy in a context of multi-level governance.
