Abstract

Proximity to the university has been considered a key factor in understanding the constitution and development of science and technology parks. Nevertheless, empirical evidence has shown that knowledge transfer from the university to the industry is not always successful. In this paper we identify the main elements to take into account so that companies are able to take advantage of the knowledge generated in the university. It has been observed that the cognitive proximity is necessary, in addition to the existing physical proximity, so that there is a transfer of knowledge
