How do dimensions of proximity relate to the effective collaboration? A survey of knowledge intensive networks in the Dutch water sector

Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy 2011How are proximity and outcomes of collaboration among professionals from science, industry, government and society related? We empirically test this relation for geographical, social, organisational and cognitive proximity, based on a survey among professionals in the Dutch water sector. Different dimensions of proximity matter for different expected outcomes (e.g. co-publications, co-inventions, turnover)
