“…Another idea was to be able to commercialise the research to be able to reach a broader market. The challenges of collaboration between university and other sectors have been recognised previously concerning time-frames (7), values and ways of working (8,9) and the protection of traditional academic values (10).…”

The Triple Helix platform project 2011-2014 further developed the wastewater treatment in the wood industry. Research was also carried out to study the actual practice of such collaboration between sectors. While the main project consisted of industry-university collaboration, initiatives to increase the unofficial regional networks of Triple Helix collaboration were also studied. Interactive research method was used to be able to work in this process and to gain access to the practical knowledge the participants have about this kind of work. Results from this show the importance of informal contacts and forums for discussion between sectors. Other important areas were the financing and time frames which are different and how such differences surface in the interaction between sectors. The changing role of university meant that researchers had the responsibility of creating knowledge with industry and other actors in society, reaching practical results and results of societal relevance. This increased emphasis on the practical relevance of knowledge had to be balanced with the traditional goals for research. Whether or not this is talked about as a Triple Helix there are several points of interest that can be related to wider changes in the way research and the third task is conducted and the context in which research is performed affects the day to day activities of the people working in such an environment.

“…Not only do Ruuska and Teigland (2009) clearly demand more in-depth studies which compare types of PPPs, but they also indicate the need for research which focuses on the comparison of PPPs across other dimensions. Nevertheless, they only looked in-depth at one specific type of public-private partnership, a project in e-government in Sweden that involved 16 organizations from academia, government, and industry to develop an innovative internet portal for the private construction industry.…”

“…The current literature features a number of classifications of models of Public-Private Partnerships, although there is a considerable confusion around the notion of PPP and also ambiguity as to how the various models should be systematized (for example, see Saussier, 2012;Hodge et al, 2010;Ruuska and Teigland, 2009). Understanding and enhancing knowledge of PPPs continue to be a matter of significance and importance (Kwak et al, 2009).…”

Keywordsdue to both budgetary constraints on the public sector and to the need to optimize financial resources, several models and methods of public-private partnerships (ppps) in megaprojects have been developed in the current financial crisis, although there is considerable confusion and ambiguit y as to how these models should be systematized. This article provides a literature review of PPP Models, where the clarification of this current confusion and ambiguity constitute the fundamental issue addressed by our research. The systematization of the PPP models is performed by applying six classification criteria based on organizational and financial aspects and focused on the Spanish experience. Additionally, a comparative study of the various schemes applied in European countries is carried out, whereby the concession model implemented successfully in Spain is studied in greater detail. To this end, a megaproject, the first metro line of Seville (Spain) forms the basis of a case-study. When the megaproject is viable through user fees, the public sector can use PPPs to defer payments and as a way to control their deficits and debt without cutting investments in infrastructures and public services. Nevertheless, certain drawbacks should be borne in mind, such as the expenditure commitments of future budgets, the higher cost of private funding, and the necessity for transparency and accountability of PPP contractual arrangements to be improved. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze the various forms of PPPs in megaprojects in order to determine the potential efficiency gains that can be achieved in the implementation of these models.

“…In the literature, there is no common defi nition of PPPs [3] and the defi nitions given by many scholars present some differences [4][5][6][7][8]. However, a common point among different approaches is that PPP contracts are long-term agreements for cooperation between public and private sector to provide high quality infrastructure, products or services, delivered via a process of applied risk-sharing, resources and profi ts.…”

This paper focuses on the initial assessment of wastewater treatment (WT) projects through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). Due to the fact that the initial investment of a PPP-type WT project is too high and can be fi nanced by both the public and private sectors, crucial during the project's feasibility stage is to estimate the partners' funding rates. Herein, the fi nancial analysis that is included in the cost benefi t analysis methodology as well as the quantitative value for money assessment method are used, in order to introduce a new process that estimates the funding ratios of the partners. Specifi cally, the process calculates the upper and lower boundaries of the public and private sectors' funding ratios in the initial investment, which include all the funding scenarios that are profi table for both partners. It applies mostly in the WT projects that are considered to be implemented through the build-operate-transfer contract type, which is probably the most commonly used type in PPPs. The new process is used in a WT project case study, in which alternative funding scenarios of the initial investment are examined and two specifi c funding scenarios are distinguished, which include all the possible funding ratio values by the public and the private parts. The process that is presented here can be a useful tool to decision makers, because it helps them to evaluate different funding scenarios of the initial investment and to select the most suitable in each case option, that will be profi INTRODUCTIONNowadays, there is a growing trend for governments in the construction industry to place major projects into the private sector through the Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) [1,2]. In the literature, there is no common defi nition of PPPs [3] and the defi nitions given by many scholars present some differences [4][5][6][7][8]. However, a common point among different approaches is that PPP contracts are long-term agreements for cooperation between public and private sector to provide high quality infrastructure, products or services, delivered via a process of applied risk-sharing, resources and profi ts. Generally, it is mentioned that the operational phase of a PPP project is 10-30 years [9][10][11], while these contract types have many advantages as well as some limitations [12]. For the period 1990-2007, the World Bank Group's [13] database that includes data from 134 countries and 4,300 infrastructure projects with private participation, show that the peak of investment projects in the water and sewerage sector was in the year 1997. In 2007, the investments in the specifi c sector amounted to US$3 billion, within the US$2-3 billion range of the three previous years. However, a remarkable issue is the period 1985-2004 in the USA [14]. Particularly, even though the wastewater projects were 41% and the road projects 20% of the total PPP projects, the investments in the wastewater sector cost much lower, that is US$82 billion against US$577 billion for the relative investments in the road sect...
