Best Practices for Collaboration Between Industry and Academe

Many organizations, as well as individuals, have or had recent initiatives seeking to understand the gap and to provide guidance regarding collaboration best practices in education, or research and development. Despite the diversity of origins, countries, disciplines, methods to discover, and the academic or practice viewpoints of the authors, the bottom line of what to do is aligned with the results presented in the article.
