Abstract: University-industry collaborations, coined with the theory of Mode 2 innovation systems, assume a greater role in knowledge creation and diffusion. Over the years, actors, institutions, and networks involved in university-industry collaborations have co-evolved and underwent rapid transformations with the changing landscape of society. This paper aims to identify the university's role in research and innovation, review theories on knowledge production in innovation systems, evaluate the modes of university-industry collaboration, and discuss challenges faced and strategies to be adopted to improve university-industry collaborations.The paper also examines the use of social network analysis in the research on university-industry collaborations as a methodological approach to improve the empirical rigor.
