What factors enable sustainable university-industry collaboration communities? Evidence from a symbiosis theory perspective by Jun Liu, Xuewei Wang, Wenqing Miao, Xiurong Wang

“…. • University-Industry Collaboration (UIC) faces challenges in implementation, including communication barriers between institutions and misaligned expectations between stakeholders • Traditional approaches to university-enterprise cooperation often lack systematic frameworks for sustainable collaboration and resource sharing • The success of industry-education partnerships heavily depends on institutional support and policy frameworks, but practical guidelines for implementation are often unclear • Introduces a comprehensive ''three-dimensional symbiosis'' framework that provides practical guidance for establishing and maintaining effective industry-education partnerships • Identifies specific mechanisms for successful collaboration, including resource sharing, information exchange, interest alignment, and organizational support structures • Presents evidence-based strategies for overcoming common barriers in University-Industry Collaboration (UIC), based on systematic analysis of real-world implementations • Educational institutions should establish dedicated communication channels and resource-sharing platforms to facilitate ongoing collaboration with industry partners • Policy makers need to develop targeted incentive mechanisms and clear evaluation criteria to encourage sustained participation from both educational institutions and industry partners • Practitioners should focus on building long-term relationships through structured programs that address both immediate needs and strategic development goals of all stakeholders…”
