Abstract: Effective cooperation between science and business may provide benefits for the development of both groups. However, the mode of action of both sides is completely different and often negatively affects the scope and perception of this cooperation. Universities are generally managed bureaucratically which causes typical for such organizations problems with decision-making. On the other hand, companies require solutions dedicated to them in a very short time. Moreover, they are waiting for concrete solutions rarely understand and accept that innovative research requires not only resources, but also a lot of time. The paper presents results from qualitative research (FGI, 4 groups) made in June 2013 in Lublin Voivodeship (Poland) investigating the barriers to cooperation between scientists and business. The study shows stereotypes one group in regard to second one and identify experiences of their cooperation. The research allowed to observe levels of cooperation as well as to identify common issues that preclude or restrict it. The developed results allowed to propose a descriptive model of effective promotion for cooperation between science and business.
