Abstract

This paper reports on a study, using focus groups and surveys of industry and university management, to assess the status of university-industry interaction in Ireland. A consensus view of industry was that collaboration with universities is difficult, and that the major issue is a lack of university support for academics who wish to collaborate. University researchers confirm this view and report uncertainty as to how their colleges perceive industry as a funding source, and also a lack of internal resources to support the administration required by such projects. A significant diversity of view on the benefits of industry collaboration was found among academics. Nevertheless, the study also found a strong willingness by all parties to solve these issues.
