Title:
The
organisational dimension of knowledge transfer between academic science
and industry
Abstract: The
development of the private funding of academic science has many
justifications. It is also the subject of questioning for the managers
of university, to make compatible the private funding of science and
the disclosure of scientific knowledge. In this article we will
consider this question at the light of the experience of three
laboratories of a French scientific university. In the three cases,
laboratories are mainly financed by private funds. Our objective is to
characterise the impact of industrial relations on the research and
teaching activities of the teams we have met and to identify the legal,
human, cognitive and organisational factors explaining the
compatibility between academic research and the private funding of
science.
