Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the public research system and policies that the United Kingdom has implemented to support university–industry knowledge transfer in order to leverage public research for innovation and economic growth. The chapter discusses the evolution of universities and public research institutes in the United Kingdom and both the supply-side and demand-side policies implemented in support of university–industry knowledge transfer. The chapter examines the various knowledge transfer activities, with particular focus on research commercialization activities, in universities and public research institutes and compares their performance in terms of commercialization success. It also discusses the private sector’s demand for university knowledge and the practices that universities have set up for management of their knowledge transfer activities. The chapter concludes with lessons that can be drawn from the UK case study of its policies and practices in knowledge transfer.
