- PublicationAcademic artists' engagement and commercialisation(Springer-Verlag, 2022-08) Azagra Caro, Joaquín María; Benito Amat, Carlos; Planells Aleixandre, Ester; Instituto de Gestión de la Innovación y del Conocimiento; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades[EN] Academic artists are researchers who create artistic work. They form part of the cultural life of cities and contribute to welfare not only through research but also through art. They may commercialise their art or use it to engage in scientifc knowledge difusion. We seek to understand the relationship between art, academic commercialisation and engagement, and detect barriers to academic art. The resources needed to develop and difuse art in addition to conducting research may be incompatible with a career focused on science quality or an organisational logic based on teaching and pure basic research. We study the responses to a survey of some 7,000 Spanish academics and compare university research ers to other researchers. More than half of the researchers surveyed create artistic work; however, whereas engagement is the norm rather than the exception, commercialisation is rare. Working in a university and producing good quality science run counter to being an artist. The detrimental efect of science quality on being a commercial or engaged artist turns positive after a certain threshold, which suggests polarisation among academic art ists. Among commercial artists, this polarisation seems to apply specifcally to university researchers. We discuss the implications for the valorisation of art across knowledge trans fer channels and in research evaluations.
- PublicationThe steady effect of knowledge co-creation with universities on business scientific impact throughout the economic cycle(Springer-Verlag, 2024-05) Gomez-Aguayo, Ana Maria; Azagra Caro, Joaquín María; Benito-Amat, Carlos; Instituto de Gestión de la Innovación y del Conocimiento; Agencia Estatal de Investigación; Universitat Politècnica de València; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; Conselleria de Innovación, Universidades, Ciencia y Sociedad Digital, Generalitat Valenciana[EN] Economic ups and downs condition science and innovation. The research strength of business firms and their cooperation with universities are important functions of science systems. The aim of this research is to analyse some of the links between business scientific output co-creation and impact throughout the economic cycle. Economic growth increases the probability of firms fostering both their scientific knowledge co-creation output and their scientific impact, until reaching an inflection point, after which those relationships become negative. Co-creation with universities intensifies the scientific impact of firms¿ output; however, although in theory this effect should vary according to the economic phase, the evidence shows that it remains steady. In this mixed-method study, the theory is grounded through interviews with key university and firm co-authors, and an empirical test is conducted on publications from 15,000 Spanish firms between 2000 and 2016 and their citations ¿ a period which includes the Spanish Great Recession (2008¿2014). The analysis suggests that policies to promote business co-creation output with universities should be more stable throughout the economic cycle: with high growth, governments should maintain the support for co-creation that is typical with low growth; with low growth, governments should not expect co-creation with universities to have an even greater positive effect on firms¿ scientific quality than it already has with high growth.
- PublicationDynamic perspectives on technology transfer: introduction to the special section(Springer-Verlag, 2021-10-16) Barberá Tomás, José David; Azagra Caro, Joaquín María; Deste Cukierman, Pablo; Instituto de Gestión de la Innovación y del Conocimiento; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades[EN] Theoretical frameworks acknowledge the dynamic and evolving nature of technology transfer. However, there is a scarcity of empirical work in the field incorporating a dynamic and longitudinal perspective. Several literature reviews call for technology transfer research agendas to include longitudinal studies. In response to such calls, this special section comprises selected contributions to the 2018 Technology Transfer Society (T2S) Conference which address this gap from different angles. The three qualitative and three quantitative works chosen contain research questions and methodologies related to dynamic aspects of technology transfer. We argue that historical and processual studies offer additional new directions
