The conference will be organised around 12 tracks. Each track consists of a number of sessions, where normally four papers will be presented and discussed – altogether each track will be able to present approx. 20 papers.

A team of convenors will manage each track. Abstracts and papers should be submitted to the relevant track convenors. Check out the track themes and the contact details of the responsible convenors.

• science and technology policy issues
• research and innovation management
• university-industry links
• knowledge network organisation
• organizational learning
• commercialization of science
• new roles of universities in interaction with the private sector
• regional development
• other topics related to the intercchange between university, industry and government in a broad sense
