TL;DR: A new indicator of performance, based on the outputs of LINK projects, has been constructed and provides a relative and quite consistent measure of performance for making comparisons among different LINK projects; however it does not correlate with the more subjective grade applied by LINK's own management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evaluation of outcomes of collaborative, pre-competitive R&D projects is addressed and a new indicator of performance based on the outputs of LINK projects is constructed, which provides a relative and quite consistent measure of performance for making comparisons among different LINK projects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between engagement in consulting activities and the research performance of academic scientists and found that the effect of consulting on scientific productivity depends on the scientific fields and the intensity of engagement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion and evolution of regulations and practices in university patenting activities in Italy are modeled using a neo-institutional perspective, and it is shown that in environments characterized by high levels of centralization (i.e., Italy), once each university was allowed to define modes and rules for its own activities, they searched locally, adopting mimetic behaviours, replicating the practices of the most prestigious and visible academic institutions.

TL;DR: This article explored the antecedent factors of the approach that science-based entrepreneurs follow in new venture creation using data from PSED II and a QCA approach, identifying two configurations of antecedENT factors relevant for sciencebased founders to successfully launch their ventures, and two for nonscience-based founders.
