“…The most important were the introduction of knowledge transfer offices (OTRIs) and science parks at the end of 1988, which experienced huge expansion after 2010. There are currently 68 science and technology parks in Spain and almost all Spanish publicly funded universities have a technology transfer office (Castro Martínez et al, 2008;Garcia-Aracil et al, 2015;Represa-Sánchez et al, 2005). Additional mechanisms have been implemented to promote cooperation, such as: proof of concept programmes, programmes to support R&D projects between universities and companies and, more recently, programmes that provide seed capital to new technology-based firms.…”

“…Previous work on knowledge transfer from the humanities and social sciences (Castro‐Martínez et al , 2008a, b) has studied the relationships between humanities researchers, enterprises and other cultural entities, both public and private. It has been found that the innovation process involved very close interactions and tightly knit networks of actors.…”

Purpose: This study provides an in-depth understanding of the innovation system and the learning processes involved in a very specific cultural field: the production of early music. Methodology:A single case study of the generic value chain in the music production industry describes and analyses the process and the actors involved in editing a new early music collection resulting from the collaboration between a record company and a public research organization. Findings:There is a need for new knowledge in the various stages of performance and publication of a new recording. The early music sector is a knowledge-intensive, science-driven sector that can be characterized as a system because the interactions among actors substantially influence final products. Research limitations/implications:The single case study represents a specific sector within the music industry. However, its conclusions can be applied to other fields in the cultural heritage sector. Originality/value:The literature on innovation in the cultural field primarily focuses on the relationship between art and information and communication technology (ICT). This paper is novel in analysing a case where scientific knowledge is key to new product development, and suggesting that we need to take account of the interactions among cultural heritage entities, universities and other knowledge production organizations. It concludes that these organizations should be involved institutionally in other aspects of the innovation process.

“…A este respecto, se han identificado cinco dimensiones de las organizaciones que pueden ser importantes para favorecer (o dificultar) el compromiso de los investigadores con la transferencia de conocimiento: a) presencia en las prioridades políticas; b) consideración en los sistemas de selección y de promoción de los investigadores; c) dedicación de recursos; d) dotación de estructuras; y e) documentación de este tipo de actividades, que permita su estandarización y proporcione indicadores para evaluar su desempeño (Jacobson et al, 2004). Finalmente, se ha estudiado en qué medida afectan las políticas científicas y de innovación a las actividades de intercambio y transferencia de conocimiento entre investigadores y agentes sociales (Abreu et al, 2009;Castro-Martínez et al, 2008;Molas-Gallart, 2012).…”

La importancia social de la ciencia ha evolucionado notablemente desde mediados del siglo XX, dando lugar a un cambio en el enfoque y desarrollo de la actividad científica. En este contexto, se ha producido un aumento notable de los estudios que analizan en profundidad los procesos de intercambio y transferencia de conocimiento que se producen entre los investigadores y los agentes sociales, en gran medida para su promoción desde las políticas científicas e institucionales. Este artículo describe la evolución de los enfoques sobre las relaciones ciencia-sociedad y analiza los principales elementos de los procesos de intercambio y transferencia de conocimiento mediante un estudio empírico del mayor organismo público de investigación español. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la visión dominante sobre las relaciones ciencia-sociedad es muy restringida y requiere ser revisada.Keywords: vinculación ciencia-sociedad; intercambio y transferencia de conocimiento; organismos públicos de investigación; investigadores; culturas de investigación; áreas científicas. Title: Science-Society Links: Stereotypes and New ApproachesAbstract: The social relevance of science has evolved significantly since the mid-twentieth century, leading to a change in the approach and development of the scientific activity. In this context, there has been a notable increase of in-depth studies addressing exchange and knowledge transfer processes between researchers and social agents, largely to encourage these processes from the scientific and institutional policies. This paper describes the evolution of the science-society relationships approaches and analyses the main elements of the exchange and knowledge transfer processes though an empirical study of the largest Spanish public research organisation. Results highlight that the dominant view on the relations between science and society is very limited and needs to be revised.
