These were coordinated universities, participation centres. Second was composed Centre Industrial Development (CDTI). firms, survey, completed 250 organisations, covered aspects attitudes participant, technology, encountered, mechanisms final programme. As conclusions, groups highlighted. For centres, relevant variables therefore initial exploitation objectives, legal barriers, access knowledge, relevance acquisition fulfilment these objectives. In other words, relating clear determinants project. industrial objectives innovation, commercial exportation results, into patents licences, engineering activities risk sharing. group, results shown Finally, when considering obstacles fulfilling project it can be concluded only important there no significant difference opinion universities.
