It explores the role of incentives in promoting or hindering university-industry-government collaborations (“the triple helix”). The report focuses on interlinked levels of the incentives system: personal incentives; meso-incentives or those at firm or university level; and macro-incentives that operate at the national level. Findings show that collaborations between biotechnology research and the biotechnology company are driven by individual incentives such as institutional and social recognition, rather than meso or macro incentives.Text1 digital file (7 p. : ill.)enINCENTIVESSURVEYSRESEARCH CENTRESPARTNERSHIPINDUSTRYSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYRESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTMEXICOUNIVERSITY INDUSTRY LINKAGESTRIPLE HELIXLATIN AMERICANORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICAIDRC Final Report
