This text is concerned with the interactions between universities and the research and development departments of industries. This is a subject of particular importance as in recent years governments have encouraged closer collaboration, with the aim of strengthening the technology base, stimulating wealth creation and generating a financial return for universities. The book is based on a key European Industrial Research Management Association (EIRMA) report, which resulted from discussions between industrial research managers from seven European countries. The information it contained has been updated and expanded to include new information, practical examples and coverage of Japan and North America. In addition, the book explains how experienced industrial R&D managers view interactions with universities, illustrates university objectives that relate to commerce, identifies industrial goals that can be assisted by universities, and seeks to stimulate the mobilization of collaborative activities for the benefit of all.
