Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of particular concern to Geuna (science and technology policy, U. of Sussex) is how the changing structure of university research funding is influencing research behavior. He considers the relationship between the allocation of funds and university scientific research productivity, and examines different aspects of European Union funding of university research. He presents empirical evidence supporting the hypothesis that tighter linkages between university and industry, which aim to increase the transfer of knowledge, may produce unintended negative effects.
