“…The UA was chosen given the particularities of the region in which it is situated (Figure 1), the context of its establishment and the discourse of regional embeddedness and innovation surrounding it. This was reinforced by previous accounts in the literature (Rodrigues et al, 2001;Rodrigues & Melo, 2013;Rodrigues & Teles, 2017;Rosa Pires, Pinho, & Cunha, 2012) reporting on punctual collaborative experiments carried out between the UA and local or regional government.…”

“…Furthermore, the general perception in stakeholder networks of universities as 'honest brokers' is an advantage in the power-governed policy sphere, promoting network and collaborative approaches based on mutual trust and enabling decentralized decision-making mechanisms (Gunasekara, 2006b, p. 729). Some studies on this developing link echo these findings, suggesting this collaboration can evolve towards co-generation of knowledge, enable more deliberative democratic processes and build institutional capacity (Rodrigues et al, 2001;Rodrigues & Melo, 2013;Rodrigues & Teles, 2017). Nevertheless, it is important to consider the policy sphere does not easily grant entry.…”

“…Third, previous studies on regional government-university-industry interplays (Rodrigues et al, 2001;Rodrigues & Melo, 2013;Rodrigues & Teles, 2017;Rosa Pires et al, 2012) have been elucidating but punctual in nature. Earlier joint projects cemented the UA-region link, namely a collaboration with a municipal association in 1989, the Municipal Association of the Ria of Aveiro (AMRIA) in matters of environmental pollution.…”

“…1 Mostly economically based on agriculture until the 1970s, and located between the metropolises of Porto and Lisbon, its peripherality in a highly bipolarized country contributes to this categorization. Nevertheless, its industrial development, aided by UA's creation in 1973, has granted Aveiro district the third highest performance in relative weight in gross domestic product (GDP) and exports (Rodrigues & Teles, 2017). Its industry is highly relevant in the areas of ceramics and materials, agro-food, forestry, information and communication technology (ICT), sea and environment, and metallurgy, with several national leading companies.…”

With growing pressure to contribute to their region's development, universities are increasingly called upon to engage dynamically in innovation policy-making and governance activities. Previous studies suggest in their collaboration with local and regional government that universities can emerge as animateurs, providing guidance, consolidating networks, and ultimately activating institutional and human agency. This is especially important in the context of less-developed regions, where the unlocking of innovative potential may rest on those factors. This paper provides an extended perspective on universities' engagement in innovation policy processes and, in a broader sense, on the collaboration between these higher education institutions and local and regional government. Through an analysis of the partnership between two Portuguese institutions, the University of Aveiro and the intermunicipal community of the region of Aveiro, this study explores the potential implications on regional innovation policy and the activation of institutional agency in a less-developed context. Policy documents, reports and interview data from 18 academics, top managers, policy-makers and other stakeholders show that while institutional expectations differ, collaborative interplays have boosted the formation and growing effectiveness of regional innovation networks, crucial for the development of less-developed regions.

“…Historically, Aveiro was a region overwhelmingly dependent on agriculture, forestry, clay extraction, fisheries and animal farming until the first half of the 1970s (Rodrigues & Teles, 2017). Two major actions, namely the establishment of UA and the Innovation Centre of Portugal Telecom have substantially changed its economic trajectory (Rodrigues & Teles, 2017).…”

The discussion on the role of universities in regional development has been a focus of academic and political debate in recent years. The overwhelming consensus is that universities can bring a crucial advantage to regional innovation systems, as knowledge-producers, disseminators and agents in the definition of a forwardlooking society. 'Entrepreneurial' and 'innovative' are now terms universities want to be associated with, and such is the case of the University of Aveiro (UA). Its location in the less-developed region of Centro, however, poses a challenge with the presence of a weak institutional landscape and an economic fabric of SMEs operating in traditional sectors. Nevertheless, a result of local aspirations and of a systemic political and educational reform in the country, UA has defined itself as a dynamic and innovative university, by embracing regional expectations, needs and partnerships, along with a conviction of the beneficial role of international knowledge exchange and collaboration. This paper aims to shed light on the case of this young university, searching to assert itself on the national and international stage, while still fomenting local ties and tackling an adverse context. Using document analysis and in-depth interviews to academic staff, knowledge-transfer offices, incubators and local university partners, this study seeks to understand how the regional, institutional and organisational context has shaped the innovative and entrepreneurial image of UA. Through a comprehensive analysis, this research hopes to present a depiction of UA's practices toward regional development, engagement and innovation that can have transferrable implications for other universities and policy-makers.
