Introduction
− Exploring the intersection of open innovation and university-industry collaboration
− Focus on the ‘reverse’ direction of knowledge transfer, from firms to universities
− Simplified systematic literature review
Systematic literature review
University-industry links
The different forms of knowledge transfer between universities and external actors. Cf. Perkmann et al 2012; Salter & Martin 2001; Abreu et al. 2009.
Commercialization of research, formal and informal collaboration
− IPR commercialization and entrepreneurial academics are still not common (D’Este & Patel 2007)
− Motives are mainly non-pecuniary (D’Este & Perkmann 2011; Bozeman et al. 2013)
− All modes of commercial collaboration show significant industry and national differences
− Research focused on transferring university knowledge to firms, although reciprocity is acknowledged & seems higher in informal links
The open innovation framework
− OI as a framework for organizing and managing boundary spanning knowledge flows
− Universities represent a special case of OI coupled modes of open innovation highlighted
− The few studies coupling OI and UII emphasize relational links (Perkmann & Walsh, 2007, Levy et al., 2009)
− Open questions: matching processes; strategies, organizing and managing collaborations; and the role of national innovation system (West et al., 2006; Perkmann & Walsh, 2007)

Conclusions
− Emphasis on bi-directional knowledge transfer and use of open innovation concept increased strongly in the last five years
− Open innovation used mainly as an ’umbrella’− Universities as utilizers of firm-based knowledge
is a rare, but valuable viewpoint− Insights from academic literature on open
innovation is a valuable viewpoint to expand understanding in knowledge transfer
