Abstract

The literature on university–industry relations suggests the need for greater clarification and deeper systematization of the University–Industry cooperation process. This study aims, using a systematic review of the literature to deepen the University–Industry state of the art and identify the main research trends. ISI's Web of Science was the database used, and a Bibliographic Coupling bibliometric analysis was performed. Based on the outcomes of the literature review, we could identify four clusters: (1) motivations and barriers to cooperation, (2) determinant factors, (3) government measures, and (4) Intersector technological cooperation. This article reveals that industries are willing and motivated to engage in cooperation agreements with universities due to knowledge and technology transfer, however, some barriers will have to be overcome. Based on the existing literature, an agenda for further research was laid out.
