Abstract: Abstract We present an integrative framework of science park contribution allowing for deeper insights into its relevancy, and suggesting new approaches to assess science park contribution, while highlighting the need to study mechanisms and conditions by which science parks provide benefits for tenants. Additionally, we underscore the importance of considering conditions in science park studies by demonstrating that science parks largely vary in terms of characteristics and discussing why these heterogeneous characteristics may influence science park contribution. We do so by comparing key characteristics (such as ownership structure, management, services offered) of 42 science parks in three European countries.
