这项研究分析了1988-2004年期间荷兰在8项基于科学的技术方面的国际研究合作。研究发现，国际研究合作在研究合作中所占的份额很高，但在调查期间没有上升。这一结果表明，国际化进程已经结束。研究还发现，与学术组织之间的合作相比，学术组织与非学术组织之间的合作更不可能在国际层面上发生。这表明，在国家研究体系内的合作有助于学术界、企业和政府组织克服规范、价值观和激励方面的差异。然而，学术和非学术组织之间的国际合作也经常发生。一些人认为这些合作是不受欢迎的，因为在这种研究合作中，国内资助的学术研究正在“泄露”给外国公司。这种不受欢迎的知识溢出导致一些人呼吁在科学政策中采用“技术民族主义”而不是“技术全球化”。对荷兰学术界和外国公司之间以及荷兰公司和外国学术界之间国际合作中的“贸易平衡”的分析表明，对不必要的知识溢出的担忧是没有根据的。
This study analyses international research collaboration for eight science-based technologies in the Netherlands for the period 1988–2004. It is found that the share of international research collaborations in research collaboration is high, but not rising during the period investigated. This result suggests that the process of internationalization has reached an end. It is also found that collaboration between academic and non-academic organizations is less likely to take place at the international level than collaboration between academic organizations. This suggests that collaborating within national research systems helps academia, firms and governmental organizations to overcome differences in norms, values and incentives. Nonetheless, international collaboration between academic and non-academic organizations is also frequently occurring. Some consider these collaborations as undesirable, insofar academic research funded domestically is ‘leaking’ to foreign firms in such research collaborations. Such unwanted knowledge spillovers has lead some to plea for a ‘technology-nationalism’ in science policy instead of a ‘techno-globalization’. An analysis of the ‘balance of trade’ in international collaborations between Dutch academia and foreign firms and between Dutch firms and foreign academia shows that fears for unwanted knowledge spillovers are unfounded.
