Research-based knowledge to corporate businesses: the Danish experience

Abstract

One of the goals in the Danish Government’s strategy for growth in Denmark is to promote the awareness, access and use of research-based knowledge to citizens and institutions, both private and public. In gaining better use of research-based knowledge, Denmark’s chances of being able to play a prominent role as a knowledge society, both nationally and internationally, will substantially increase. To transform the strategy into practice Denmark’s Electronic Research Library, deff, has been created. In this article business consultant of deff, Anders Mejlbjerg, describes how deff is working to expand the awareness of research-based knowledge to various public institutions and to small and medium-sized private enterprises, known as SMEs.
