La evolución de la gobernanza de las políticas de innovación en España: el caso de la colaboración entre ciencia e industria

Abstract

This research is about the change of paradigm in innovation policies that have been taking place in the last decades, describing the turn toward a model based on the collaboration between science and industry. The aim of the study is to analyse the evolution of innovation policies undertaken in Spain, for discovering if such process fit with the scheme prescribed by theory. Through a bibliographic and documentary review, we identify three main phases of development for cross-sector collaborative relationships in Spain; such phases progressively converge on a more integrated model of knowledge transfer. Nevertheless, we also observe an increasing relevance of regional governments, contributing to the emergence of a complex multilevel governance system of innovation policies.
