Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the extent of collaboration among possible partners for the proposed science and Technology Park of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines. Methods: The study involved the conduct of actual visits and interviews among officials and representatives of twenty-six (26) industries located in the provinces and cities of Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental, all in Region X, Southern Philippines. Findings: The study determined the profiles of the industry-respondents such as nature of business and their types. Inputs on possible support of these would-be industry partners around the region were also identified. These include research collaboration, involvement to curriculum development and student trainings. Application: The results of the study provide insights for crafting partnership plans to possible industry locators to Science and Technology parks. Keywords: S&T Parks, Industry Locators, Academe-Industry Partnerships.
Highlights
In more developed countries in the world, universities and public research laboratories are considered to be the prime movers of basic scientific researches
One of the major features of the proposed USTP is the establishment of science and technology (S&T) parks in its campuses
In order to obtain profiles of industries, a list of existing industries in the areas of Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon areas were obtained through visits in government and non-governmental organisations
Summary
In more developed countries in the world, universities and public research laboratories are considered to be the prime movers of basic scientific researches. Industries, on the other hand, are viewed to perform the bulk of the applied research and development that is needed before new products and processes are introduced to the market. The proposed University of Science and Technology of the Philippines (USTP) is envisioned to provide a strong link between the academe and the industries. One of the major features of the proposed USTP is the establishment of science and technology (S&T) parks in its campuses. The establishment of S&T parks possesses the following characteristics: (a) the strong presence of the academe or educational research institution; (b) the provision of space for the operation of industries; (c) the opportunity for technology incubation, transfer and commercialisation; and (d) the desire to spur economic development through science and technology.[2]
