Universities have become more engaged or entrepreneurial, forging deeper relations with society beyond the economic sphere. To foster, structure, and institutionalize a broader spectrum of engagement, new types of intermediary organizations are created, going beyond the “standard” technology transfer offices, incubators, and science parks. This pap...

On the basis of the open innovation model, policy makers are also increasingly stimulating SMEs to develop their exploration skills. I...
