Description
The symposium on the diffusion and commercialization of science delves into the critical role of scientific knowledge in driving innovation and economic growth. It addresses the challenges and strategies involved in using publicly available scientific knowledge for commercial applications. The symposium brings together researchers studying the commercialization and diffusion processes, focusing on how firms access and utilize scientific knowledge, the role of universities and scientists in the diffusion of scientific knowledge, and the impact of successful commercialization on science itself. These papers range from the development of novel measures to examine the commercial potential of scientific research to exploring the impact of media and social media in disseminating scientific knowledge and investigating the interplay between corporate and academic research in the development of enabling technologies like quantum computing. Given the decline in corporate science over the last few decades, the challenge for firms is effectively leveraging scientific discoveries from universities and research institutions.The papers in the symposium offer important implications for businesses and research institutions striving to bridge the gap between scientific research and commercial application.
