Why do academics engage with industry? The entrepreneurial university and individual motivations (2009, background): “Our work also contributes to the emerging body of literature on informal and collaborative modes of university-industry interaction (Link et al. 2007; Grimpe and Fier 2010).”
International Scientist Mobility and the Locus of Knowledge and Technology Transfer (2011, background): “Moreover, scientists with collaborative experience can be assumed to be both more open to and more attractive for industrial partners as they understand the application-oriented interest of firms and know how to manage relationships with firms (Grimpe and Fier, 2010).”
Models and Methods of University Technology Transfer (2013, unknown): “Grimpe and Fier (2010) describe formal technology transfer as a mechanism to allocate property rights, whereas informal technology transfer is more about informal communication processes.”
Technology commercialization: a literature review of success factors and antecedents across different contexts (2016, background): “Informal mechanisms include linking students with industry (Boardman and Ponomariov 2009) non-contractual contacts (in both directions) with industry professionals, for example, at conferences, or joint research publications (Boardman and Ponomariov 2009; Grimpe and Fier 2009).”
Pathways to impact and the strategic role of universities: new evidence on the breadth and depth of university knowledge exchange in the UK and the factors constraining its development (2012, unknown): “Other studies of the engagement mechanisms have considered the activities of: scientists from Germany (Grimpe and Fier, 2010); academics from the life sciences in Germany and the UK (Haeussler and Colyass, 2011); and scientists, engineers and medics from Ireland and Sweden (Klofsten and Jones-Evans,”
Formal and Informal Knowledge and Technology Transfer from Academia to Industry: Complementarity Effects and Innovation Performance (2013, background): “Only a few authors have investigated informal university KTT mechanisms (e.g. Link et al., 2007; Grimpe and Fier, 2010).”
The importance of pro-social behaviour for the breadth and depth of knowledge transfer activities: an analysis of Italian academic scientists (2017, background): “…on academics’ propensity to undertake them Ramos-Vielba et al., 2016; Olmos-Peñuela et al., 2014; D’Este and erkmann, 2011; Landry et al., 2010; Grimpe and Fier, 2010; D’Este nd Patel, 2007; Link et al., 2007) and their relative effects (Landry t al., 2007; D’Este et al., 2013;…”
Rethinking the Commercialization of Public Science: From Entrepreneurial Outcomes to Societal Impacts (2018, background): “However, the transfer of science and technology into application also occurs through many other pathways (Hughes & Kitson, 2012), often based on informal interactions between scientists and industry personnel, including consulting (Grimpe & Fier, 2010; Link, Siegel, & Bozeman, 2007).”
