In this project, we implement a comprehensive approach for mapping and evaluating existing government tools and instruments for academia-industry collaboration in Israel and in selected countries.
A special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of the IIA MAGNET Consortia Program, which constitutes the flagship of the IIA R&D instruments. The main goals of the research are to evaluate the effectiveness of the MAGNET Consortia Program in terms of the cooperation between the partners, as well as the main achievements, contributions and outputs of the program from the viewpoint of both sectors.
In order to identify the key catalysts and obstacles for joint partnerships between the academia and the industry, we employ several qualitative and quantitative tools to facilitate an integrated examination and analysis of the investigated phenomena.
This examination involves the implementation of self-report methods with an analysis of primary sources.
