Both a long historical and comparative perspective and a spacial perspective are essential to discuss the relevance of university-local industry linkages to local regional economic development. The conjunction of these linkages and economic development has been affected by two evolutionary processes: institutional configurations and territorial dynamics in the national innovation system. In addition, university-local industry linkages have been complicated by top-down regionalization and bottom-up regionalism.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC INTERESTSACADEMIC KNOWLEDGEACADEMIC RESEARCHADVANCED RESEARCHADVANCED TECHNOLOGYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAPPLIED RESEARCHASSISTANT PROFESSORBASICCAREERCHAMBERS OF COMMERCECHEMISTRYCITIESCOLLEGE OF AGRICULTURECOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENTCONFIGURATIONSDECENTRALIZATIONDONATIONSECONOMICSEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSELECTRONIC ENGINEERINGELECTRONICSEMPLOYMENTENGINEERINGENGINEERING DEPARTMENTSENGINEERING FACULTIESENGINEERSEQUIPMENTFACULTIESFACULTY OF LAWFACULTY OF MEDICINEFUNDAMENTAL RESEARCHGRADUATE EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHUMAN RESOURCESINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL SOCIETYINNOVATIONSINTEGRATIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYKEY INDUSTRIESKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYKNOWLEDGE PRODUCTIONLABORATORIESLAND DEVELOPMENTLITERATUREMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNEW TECHNOLOGIESPAPERSPHYSICSPRIVATE SECTORPROFESSOR EMERITUSPROFESSORSPROGRAMSPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONR&DRADIORESEARCH INSTITUTERESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESEARCH THEMESRESEARCHERSSCHOLARSSCHOOLSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSCIENTISTSCIENTISTSSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHTEACHERSTEACHINGTECHNICAL COLLEGESTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTUNIVERSITIESWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-3991
