本文探讨了学术研究人员与产业界互动的不同渠道，以及影响研究人员参与各种互动的因素。这项研究是基于对英国学术研究人员的大规模调查。结果表明，大学研究人员与产业界互动使用各种各样的渠道，并更频繁地从事大多数渠道检查，如咨询和合同研究，联合研究，或培训-相比，专利或分拆活动。在解释互动的多样性和频率时，我们发现研究人员的个人特征比他们所在部门或大学的特征具有更强的影响。最后，我们认为，通过更加关注广泛的知识转移机制（除了专利和分拆），政策举措可以有助于建立必要的研究人员的技能，整合科学研究和应用的世界。(c)2007 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
This paper examines the different channels through which academic researchers interact with industry and the factors that influence the researchers' engagement in a variety of interactions. This study is based on a large scale survey of UK academic researchers. The results show that university researchers interact with industry using a wide variety of channels, and engage more frequently in the majority of the channels examined-such as consultancy & contract research, joint research, or training - as compared to patenting or spin-out activities. In explaining the variety and frequency of interactions, we find that individual characteristics of researchers have a stronger impact than the characteristics of their departments or universities. Finally, we argue that by paying greater attention to the broad range of knowledge transfer mechanisms (in addition to patenting and spin-outs), policy initiatives could contribute to building the researchers' skills necessary to integrate the worlds of scientific research and application.
