Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a crucial role in knowledge society by providing and disseminating knowledge. In this regard, academics have been encouraged to collaborate with society, leading to the emergence of new modes of knowledge production. Several institutional and individual factors have been identified as determinants of the academic engagement. Hence, using data from a survey delivered to a representative sample of Portuguese academics, this paper analyses the influence of different modes of knowledge production, institutional diversity and individual characteristics on distinct dimensions of academic engagement (Formal Research Collaboration; Informal Dissemination of Knowledge; Commercialization of Knowledge; and Teaching-related Activities and Supervision of Students). We propose as research hypotheses the existence of an influence of individual academics’ values, identity and types of knowledge on the engagement with society, addressing them using a linear regression. Results suggest the influence of CUDOS, (i.e. communalism, disinterestedness and organized scepticism) and PLACE, (i.e. proprietary, local, authority, commissioned and expert) on academic engagement, although this influence differs according to distinct dimensions. The findings also reveal differences according to the type of institutional affiliation. Moreover, the study confirms the relevance of individual characteristics in explaining different forms of academic engagement, such as gender, discipline and seniority. Since the results do not align entirely with the theory, this paper may be of particular relevance to launch a discussion around the type of engagement higher education institutions intend to promote and how far their own characteristics and those of their academics may influence such engagement.

Huang, T. Aarrevaara, U. Teichler bSpringer Cham a2300 v233 aSimilar trends have been shaping higher education systems in Europe. First, in modern university, the influence of Humboldtian values as the unity of teaching and research framed the organisation of higher education institutions (HEIs). More recently, under the ideological influence of both the knowledge economy/society and neoliberalism, European systems are compelled to demonstrate the utility of the knowledge produced, while they are making accountable to society, imposing an audit culture. This context leads to a stratification of institutions and academics, where the knowledge produced, usually measured by the number of publications, is an essential feature to determine the most prestigious institutions and academics.
At present, the time European academics dedicate to their main roles differs, with some dedicating more time to teaching, while others dedicate more time to research. It is expected that this distinction impacts directly on research outputs. Notwithstanding, personal characteristics, such as gender and seniority, are acknowledged to impact the number of research outputs.
This chapter illuminates on the effects of time organisation (time dedicated to teaching and to research) and of academics’ individual characteristics (gender and seniority), on research outputs, placing Portugal in a comparative perspective with other six countries of Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Slovenia, Sweden and Turkey.
Findings confirm that prioritising one of academics’ roles influences research outputs, with relevant variations between academics’ gender and seniority, more than among countries.

In this context, the mission of universities, considered as core knowledge institutions, has been challenged and the traditional roles of education and teaching have been broadened to include the dissemination of the knowledge to the society. Consequently, academics are encouraged to adopt entrepreneurial behaviour and to engage with non-academics stakeholders.
The literature on knowledge transfer tends to focus on more applied areas and to associate collaboration with industry with technological areas. However, the academic engagement with society should be approached through a broader perspective, including all the interactions with non-academic organizations (Perkmann, 2013).
Based on a representative dataset of a survey delivered in Portugal, between November of 2018 and January of 2019, this paper intends to compare the types of academic engagement performed by Portuguese academics from different scientific areas. We argue that the type of engagement strongly depends on the scientific field. The external activities reported by the academics in the survey were grouped in 4 dimensions based on the literature review: formal collaboration, informal collaboration, commercialization and education. A linear regression is applied in order to estimate the relationship between the different disciplines and each dimension.
Our results suggest that the types of engagement vary according to the scientific areas. Commercialization (patenting and spin-offs) is much more associated with technological areas, than with social sciences, arts and humanities. However, academic from these areas tend to engage more external partners through informal and ‘relational’ collaboration. Moreover, formal research collaboration, such as consultancy and research contracts plays a relevant role in academic engagement in social sciences. Additionally, activities associated with education such as the supervision of the students' internships tend to be more relevant in more applied areas than in humanities, physics or mathematics.
This study aims to contribute to the debate on academic engagement with society, emphasizing the role of the scientific areas. On the one hand, it highlights the existence of different types and dimensions of academic engagement, which vary between commercialisation-driven activities to informal forms of collaboration. On the other hand, it contribute to understand the relationship between such types of academic engagement and the different scientific areas. It finally draws attention to the relevance of informal channels of university-society collaboration, particularly developed by academics linked to arts, humanities and social sciences, and which impact despite increasingly discussed in the literature, is still ‘underestimated.’
In the context of the Knowledge Society advent, scientific knowledge is considered as an asset to serve economic and social development purposes through the collaboration between universities and non-academic institutions. In the case of Healthcare, the system can benefit from scientific evidence in order to improve well-being and healthcare services. However, the persistent gap between scientific evidence and its implementation to the practice has been object of a political concern as it potentially leads to a duplication of efforts and a waste of resources (Rowley et al 2012). This challenge is observed by the difficulty to translate basic scientific knowledge into clinical applications (Kitson et al 2018), and by the time required for a patient to benefit from a proven treatment (Graham 2006).
From this perspective, the Knowledge Translation (KT) paradigm emerges as a strategy to close the evidence-practice gap and to ensure that the knowledge produced by researchers meet real-world needs. More recently, the focus was placed on the collaborative arrangements set between researchers and non-academic stakeholders. In this context, the traditional knowledge users (clinical professionals, policymakers, managers and even patients) take a role as co-producers of knowledge in a research partnership, actively participating in all the phases of the research process.
However, it is not clear how these collaborative arrangements are approached, and what are the main factors required for the establishment of a successful partnership. And this is precisely what this paper aims to better understand, contributing to the debate on research partnerships as a strategy to close the gap between science and practice in the Healthcare area.
A systematic literature review is conducted on the studies covering KT arrangements and the co-production of knowledge between academics and stakeholders from the Healthcare system. For this purpose, a search for both the expressions “knowledge translation” and “co-production of knowledge”, combined with “healthcare” in the database Scopus-Elsevier (in order to restrict the analysis to peer-reviewed material) was undertaken. The articles selected focused on the conceptualization of integrated knowledge translation mechanisms and multi-organizational partnerships.
The literature review reveals a number of factors that have been identified as the main enablers and barriers to KT processes. In this regard, the complex nature of research partnership comprising actors with different priorities and from different organizational cultures entails the main barriers to the KT. On the other hand, regular communication and effective leadership contribute to overcoming these challenges. The existence of a Knowledge Brokering infrastructure, able to engage all the participants since the earlier stages, is perceived as crucial for the co-production of relevant knowledge.
Understanding the factors that can hinder or facilitate effective KT processes allows for the planning and implementation of successful partnerships between academic and non-academic actors. Therefore, KT interventions should be designed, anticipating potential barriers, and optimizing the facilitators. Furthermore, this study sheds light on what should be the role of an intermediate infrastructure aiming to optimize knowledge production and its implementation within a partnership in order to improve the healthcare service.
