The Role Of Stakeholders in Science-Industry Collaboration: Policy Level (Regional & National)
• Quality related and assessed research• Research papers, citations and patents• Research outcomes rather than economic
contribution
• Funding• Allocation of funding for commercial (third stream)
activity• Equitable distribution of funds
• Establishing Priorities• The role of foresight

• Measuring Outcomes and Impacts• Renewal of products, processes and services• Development of new products, processes and
services• Contribution of innovation products to turnover
• Focus on enhancing absorptive capacity• Effective utilisation of internal knowledge, co-
operation networks and external knowledge• Progressing SMEs from low to high-level innovators• Role of tacit knowledge “regional science”

1. Extension of innovation services provided by universities & research centres
2. University & research centres as a gateway, broker and deliverer of services
3. Universities and research centres to employ business support specialists
4. Provision of core funding for business development (in addition to teaching and research) for universities to support co-operation at the local level
5. Regional & national agencies need to recognise and respond to their role in supporting “science-business co-operation”
6. Qualitative knowledge audits should be adopted within regions to identify the current and future knowledge (both tacit & coded) requirements of SMEs and industrial sectors
