Abstract: This study confronts two perspectives on the role of universities in regional innovation systems. The first one is the political and administrative perspective, under which higher education institutions, like airports, have become magic bullets in many regional development strategies (OECD, 2007) or pillars to the EU innovation policy. The second perspective results from industry innovation studies (Innobarometers) and reveals a weak demand from the business community to interact and make use of the knowledge base of universities. Using secondary data analysis, this study brings evidence from empirical studies, official statistics and regional planning documents. The results have implications for regional decision-makers, as well as for regional innovation actors.

Keywords: regional innovation systems; universities/ higher education institutions (HEIs); innovation policies; secondary data analysis; Innobarometers. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
