Context: dynamic and productive linkages between research organizations (ROs) and industry are actively spurred in advanced nations. Conversely, Latin American countries face significant challenges in fostering research-industry interactions. Solid models of research-industry cooperation are of particular interest to emerging economies such as Brazil. Objective: this article aims at presenting a comprehensive study of the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Research and Innovation - Embrapii, an entity focused on addressing barriers to cooperation between research ROs and companies. Methods: data from 63 projects supported by Embrapii involving three ROs and 44 companies was collected employing four sources of primary data: two web questionnaires, interviews and technical visits. The scope of the study is based on Embrapii’s initial phase carried out during 2012-2016. Results: findings revealed that specificities of the model allow the emergence of conditions for effective research-indu...

The main aim of this paper is to analyse how individual perceptions of academic researchers about the benefits, results and barriers affect their interactions with firms. University has become a growing important source of knowledge for innovation and firms are trying to get closer to the university in order to appropriate of the knowledge generated by academic research. To evaluate the effect of the benefits, results and barriers, a comprehensive database from a survey to Brazilian research groups' leaders was used. Non-parametric IRT (Item Response Theory) technique was applied and clusters of responses were formed to each dimension. Then, these clusters were used to build an econometric model to evaluate the importance of the dimensions. Main findings show that intellectual benefits and academic results are important drivers to research groups to collaborate with industry and transactional barriers represent important obstacles to academic research groups to interact more with firms. These findings allow a better understanding of the main motivations and constrains faced by research groups in the collaboration with firms.
Interactions between public research organisations and industry in Argentina

There are various channels for the exchange of knowledge between public research organisations (PRO) and industry (I). This paper discusses the relative effectiveness of different channels. We use micro-data from surveys on firms and researchers to confirm that specific channels of PRO-I interactions are predominantly associated with specific types of benefits. We show that firms' innovative capabilities and researchers' knowledge skills interfere in the channels-benefits relationship. Therefore, the promotion of PRO-I interactions should be designed in accordance with the types of benefits being targeted and taking account of the knowledge characteristics of the actors involved in the interaction. * This study is based on an international research project "Interactions between universities and firms: searching for paths to support the changing role of universities in the South", developed under the umbrella of the Catching up project; it was sponsored by IDRC (Canada). It compares PRO-industry interactions in 12 countries from Latin America, Asia and Africa. The questionnaires were discussed by the whole team.

This paper approaches the research topic 'university-industry interaction' based on a case study in the Brazilian oil innovation system (OIS). It discourses on the management of cooperative R&D projects, by the state-owned Operator, Petrobras, involving two Brazilian universities and one medium-sized locally owned supplier firm in the scope of the Thematic Network for Integration of Science and Technology-Industry at the National Productive Process (NISTI). The NISTI is a network of scientific and technological partnerships created by the Operator to foster competitive local content and innovation in the Brazilian OIS. The case study showed the learning processes generated by the actors' interactions were crucial to the effectiveness of the technological solutions developed by the partners. Despite the management challenges inherent in the institutional differences between academia and industry, this initiative reinforced the prominence of universities as sources of technological opportunities in science-based sectors. In addition, the adopted partnership model provided useful recommendations to the reassessment of the R&D portfolio's formation.
University-industry research collaboration in the Brazilian oil industry: the case of Petrobras
Revista Brasileira de Inovação
Este artigo analisa a colaboração em pesquisa entre a empresa estatal petrolífera brasileira, Petrobras, e universidades no período de 1980 a 2014. Apesar da importância da interação universidade-empresa na indústria de petróleo brasileira, há poucos estudos temporalmente abrangentes sobre o tema. Este trabalho ajuda a preencher uma lacuna na literatura, provendo dados comparativos de longo prazo sobre a colaboração em pesquisa entre a Petrobras e universidades. Baseando-se nas publicações da Petrobras em coautoria com universidades, são analisadas as mudanças na intensidade e orientação geográfica da colaboração, no nível de relação interorganizacional e na base de conhecimentos da empresa. Além disso, o trabalho também aborda os efeitos da recente política de financiamento à pesquisa e desenvolvimento na interação. Os resultados mostram uma crescente interação entre a Petrobras e as universidades brasileiras, levando a um alargamento da rede de colaborações científicas da empresa ...

This article investigates the process of technology transfer in the Embrapa- Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, one of the most important center for tropical agricultural technology in the world. Our research is survey-based, and a questionnaire was applied to the employees working at strategic and operational level of a research unit of Embrapa. The results demonstrate that the technology transfer from Embrapa needs instruments, standards and standardized strategies. The lack of standardization of the can lead to disjointed actions among professionals and researchers, and may to make the Embrapa is seen in a fragmented form. Is important to explore new alternatives to treat simultaneously the issues of planning, research and development, transfer and communication in order to reset the current model, such as the use of Dual- use of technology transfer, characterized by a strong interaction between the chain production and potential users of the technology.
