Excellent examples to industrial strategy for interaction with Universities
I am a manager in a university research centre that collaborates formally with 14 companies, 2 of which have supplied essays in this book. The practical examples given here have been helpful in developing our understanding of our role and how the companies we work with think. We have used the Collaboration Canvas that is introduced here successfully to engage our partners.
