Title: The motivations, organisation and outcomes of university-industry interaction in 
	 the Netherlands
Abstract: This paper aims at analysing the impact of institutional and 
	 organizational factors on bridging industrial and university motivations 
	 for collaboration, as well as on the content, management and outcome of 
	 this relationship, in the Netherlands. In particular, we explore which 
	 type of projects, set up under specific industrial and university 
	 motivations, are more likely to face institutional barriers related to 
	 technology, market and organisational incentives frameworks. Moreover, 
	 we analyse the impact of technology transfer offices, research 
	 sponsoring, part-time professorships, and patenting on aligning 
	 university and industry motivations towards collaboration. To proceed 
	 empirically, thirty in-depth cases of successful university-industry 
	 knowledge transfer are analysed.
