The company survey falls within the scope of the EURIS-ORP subproject, co-financed by the European Union’s Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the INTERREG IV c programme. The objective of the survey is to ascertain to what extent the technology transfer activities of universities and research institutes conform to the open innovation model. Additionally, the survey seeks to appraise what role higher education and research institutions play in the regional innovation system. To this end, 73 telephone interviews have been conducted with heads of R&D departments of companies with previous collaboration ties with Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA) or having received aid for R&D projects from public administrations.
