“…Moreover, a firm's decision to collaborate with universities for innovation is influenced by the geographical proximity and quality [20], as well as the willingness of institutions to collaborate. In short, cooperation between universitiesindustry is seen as a source of growth because it encourages knowledge transfer, boosting innovation and the performance of companies [21].…”

Aligning Software Engineering Teaching Strategies and Practices with Industrial Needs

Several approaches have been proposed to reduce the gap between software engineering education and the needs and practices of the software industry. Many of them aim to promote a more active learning attitude in students and provide them with more realistic experiences, thus recreating industry software development environments and collaborative development and, in some cases, with the involvement of companies mainly acting as potential customers. Since many degree courses typically offer separate subjects to teach requirements engineering, analysis and design, coding, or validation, the integration of all these phases normally necessitates experience in a project context and is usually carried out in a final year project. The approach described in this article benefits from the close involvement of a software house company which goes beyond the common involvement of a potential customer. Students are integrated into distributed teams comprising students, teachers and IT professionals. Teams follow the agile Scrum methodology and use the OutSystems low-code development platform providing students with the experience of an almost real scenario. The results show that this approach complements the knowledge and practice acquired in course subjects, develops the students’ technical and non-technical skills, such as commitment, teamwork, and communication, and initiates them in the methodologies and development strategies used in these companies. The feedback from the teachers involved, software companies and students was very positive.

“…The importance of scientific knowledge generated by academic/research institutions in collaboration with the private sector is undeniable for the economic growth of a nation but, in less developed countries, diverse barriers may impede this type of cooperation (Atta-Owusu et al 2021 ; Figueiredo and Fernandes 2020 ). Collaboration between highly qualified academics/researchers and professionals in private organizations and companies could boost local economies by combining all existing technical skills and capabilities (Helfat and Peteraf 2003 ).…”

Barriers and facilitators of university-industry collaboration for research, development and innovation: a systematic review

2023

Cooperation in research, development and innovation (RD&I) between universities or research institutes and industries plays a fundamental role in the economic development of a country. Industry benefits from state-of-the-art laboratories and technologies from academia, while institutes learn about business reality and market needs. Numerous barriers to the establishment and maintenance of these partnerships have been investigated and reported in the literature, but the information generated by these empirical studies is very fragmented and there is a need to consider the barriers systematically in order to clarify the topic. The aims of this systematic review were to analyze university-industry collaborations set up for the purpose of RD&I in an effort to recognize the barriers and facilitators of the process and to identify the approaches by which such barriers may be overcome. Following searches of the Scopus database and application of the exclusion criteria, 86 relevant articles were identified and submitted to bibliometric analysis. Subsequently, 75 articles were selected for in-depth content analysis, and the ideas embodied therein were presented in a structured and comprehensive manner. Barriers were evaluated according to three different theoretical perspectives, namely the triple helix and the entrepreneurial university, the relational social capital and value creation, and technology transfer and cultural differences. The facilitators were categorized as internal and external. The results obtained highlight the importance of fostering relational social capital and providing tax incentives to facilitate industry's pursuit of innovation through academia partnerships, and also show that collaborative barriers in RD&I may be overcome to some extent by starting with smaller projects and gradually increasing their complexity. Based on the findings outlined in this review, we propose various lines for future research.

“…The integration of higher education and industry is intended to illustrate the service capacity of higher education for industrial upgrading and development, as well as the new requirements for the development of higher education under the conditions of deepening industrial upgrading [2][3]. This interactive relationship is not only the meaning of the demand for high-quality specialists in the new situation but also the way to accelerate the development of the industrial economy "good and fast" [4][5]. Therefore, taking Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area as an example, while discussing the current situation of industrial development in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, it is particularly important to clarify the integration relationship between higher education and industry for the smooth transformation of the local economy and solving the problem of "talent shortage".…”

In this paper, the Herfindahl coefficient (HHI), intuitionistic fuzzy hierarchical analysis (IFAHP) and binary semantic evaluation methods are used to quantitatively measure the degree of industry-academia integration in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and to explore the level hierarchy of the degree of industry-academia integration. The factors influencing the behavior of industry-academia cooperation between enterprises and higher vocational colleges were analyzed by selecting the employment of H, A and X institutions in the past five years. The results show that the level of industry-academia integration in the Greater Bay Area is 0.6833, and the obstacles in communication channels between enterprises and higher education institutions are the biggest influencing factors. The industrial structure deviation is 28.9, which indicates that there is a discrepancy between the university specialty settings and market demand in the region. The optimization countermeasures proposed in this paper have a positive significance in promoting the connection between local higher education and industry.
