Barriers To University-industry Collaboration In Algeria: Orientation-related Barriers And Transaction-related Barriers

الملخص

This study aims to explore the current situation of University-Industry Collaboration in Algeria and to identify the perceived barriers against effective collaboration from the researchers’ point of view. This study is based on a survey of 534 researchers in Algeria carried out by CREAD. The findings reveal that there is a poor collaboration between University and Industry. The main barriers against effective collaboration are the lack of interest from companies and lack of confidence. Besides, universities and industries have a different culture. Lack of mutual understanding of priority expectations and needs is also another important barrier identified by researchers.
