Presentation Overview
There has been growing public policy interest world-wide on the role and impact of university-industry collaboration. However, policy research on university-industry collaboration has been hampered by the lack of reliable and internationally comparable data on the propensity and characteristics of such activities. In recent years, university-industry co-publications (UICPs) have been proposed to provide a window into such activities (Tijssen, 2009). In this seminar, Prof. Wong provides an overview of the pattern and trend of UICP among leading universities in Asia vs. Europe and North America, and present findings from his research on the link between UICP propensity and several indicators of university technology commercialization activities for leading North American universities. Policy implications and potential extension of the research to Asian universities are discussed.
