Abstract

The mobility of individuals represents a crucial mechanism through which knowledge flows across organisations, in the labour market and between places. There has been an increasing policy attention to the mobility of scientific researchers at various stages of their careers, especially for doctoral students and doctoral graduates in bridging the gaps between science and innovation closer. This paper focuses on one of the collaborative doctoral training schemes between academia and industry - a case of the Engineering Doctorate (EngD) scheme in the UK as a distinct model from the traditional PhD. The paper presents the mobility of EngD graduates based on the illustrative case studies of three Industrial Doctorate Centres (IDCs) for the period between 2001 and 2014. The EngD graduates' career paths and mobility suggests knowledge dissemination and exploitation with diverse spatial implication - the talents are collocated in specific industry locations with local, national and international knowledge flows, skills, R&D and innovation activities.

跨越科学与创新的界限——英国工业博士中心毕业生的职业流动性和影响

个人的流动性代表了一种关键的机制，通过这种机制，知识可以在组织之间、在劳动力市场上以及在地方之间流动。越来越多的政策关注科研人员在其职业生涯各个阶段的流动性，特别是博士生和博士毕业生在缩小科学与创新之间的差距方面的流动性。本文重点介绍了学术界与产业界合作培养博士的一种方案——英国工程博士(EngD)方案作为一种不同于传统博士模式的案例。本文基于三个工业博士中心(idc) 2001年至2014年期间的说明性案例研究，介绍了工程博士毕业生的流动性。工程博士毕业生的职业道路和流动表明知识的传播和利用具有不同的空间含义-人才被分配到特定的行业地点，进行本地，国家和国际知识流动，技能，研发和创新活动。

期刊介绍： The IJTG provides a refereed and authoritative source of analysis on the interactions between technological innovation and globalisation. It serves as an international forum for exchange of ideas and views on the global implications of technology for economic growth, sustainable development and international security. IJTG aims to promote communication among policy makers, experts and professionals in government, industry, academia and civil society. IJTG is co-sponsored by the Science, Technology and Globalisation Project at Harvard University"s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and the Science, Technology and Innovation Program, housed in Harvard University"s Center for International Development.
