Abstract

This paper examines the evolution of contractual relationships in chemistry at the University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg during the 1990s. Using entry, exit and persistency indicators we analyse the changes in the contracting behaviour of the various university laboratories and compare the types of contracts signed by persistent and non-persistent laboratories, persistent laboratories being those that had contractual relationships throughout the period. Four main conclusions emerge. First, an increasing number of new actors (firms and university laboratories) have become contractual partners. Second, persistent laboratories are the most active actors inside the university. Third, the increasing number of contractual agreements signed by persistent laboratories underlines the existence of an ongoing management learning process. Finally, there is no clear-cut difference in the type of contracts signed by persistent and non-persistent laboratories indicating that the development of university-industry relationships is demand-driven. These results are framed within the debate on the ongoing changes in the role and behaviour of universities.
