Abstract: Increasingly competitive marketplaces, the shortening of product and technology lifecycles, and the growing complexity of innovation processes have rapidly increased industry’s reliance on the expertise of universities. With so much riding on the importance and significance of university-industry collaborations, there is a need to better understand the impact these collaborations have on the participants and beyond. My research innovatively uses text mining applied to final reports from collaborative university-industry project to identify the different impacts generated by these projects, as well as to single out some factors associated with high likelihood of repeated interaction. It also showcases the potential of text mining as a tool to exploit the wealth of information collected in project reports collected and often made available by project funders.
