Abstract

University‐business collaborations (UBCs) are widely recognised as a key component within the sustainability effort, yet the literature on how we articulate the value which collaborations contribute towards a wider sustainable regional development agenda remains fragmented and disorganised, lacking synthesis and cumulativeness. Based on a recognised need to critically assess the state of the field, this paper presents a systematic review of a wide body of literature that seeks to evaluate the contribution of UBCs to sustainable regional development. Using a lens of place and knowledge, 131 articles are analysed and a framework is developed based on emerging categories of localism/universalism and pluralism/sovereignty. The framework provides a basis for both navigating approaches to evaluation, as well as enabling both researchers and practitioners to engage in more constructive discussions around the challenges and opportunities when evaluating UBCs in the wider context of place‐based government agendas for sustainable regional development.

开启大学与企业合作对地区可持续发展的评估：以地方为基础的政策倡议的全面审查和框架

大学与企业的合作（UBCs）被广泛认为是可持续发展努力中的一个关键组成部分，然而，关于我们如何阐述合作对更广泛的可持续区域发展议程所做贡献的文献仍然是零散和无序的，缺乏综合性和累积性。基于对这一领域现状进行批判性评估的公认需求，本文对大量文献进行了系统回顾，旨在评估城市社区对区域可持续发展的贡献。本文以地方和知识为视角，分析了 131 篇文章，并根据新出现的地方主义/普遍主义和多元主义/主权等类别制定了一个框架。该框架既为指导评估方法奠定了基础，也使研究人员和从业人员能够在以地方为基础的政府可持续地区发展议程的大背景下，围绕评估城市社区的挑战和机遇开展更具建设性的讨论。
