Abstract

Cooperation between science and industry is crucial for the economic and social development of a country and the effects it generates on public research depend on the specific collaboration scheme. This paper investigates the effects that research service can generate in public research activity, based on the contributions that industry makes and the way in which they are linked to public learning and its research agenda. For this, a qualitative methodology is used, based on the multiple case study method, which is carried out in three sectors, agrobiotechnology, biopharmaceutical and nanotechnology, of a developing country like Argentina. The main findings include the identification of four different categories within the service, the presence of benefits for the public part in terms of learning and agenda in two of them, and the possibility of a complementary relationship between this scheme and joint research.
