%X The aim of this chapter is to analyse the creation and diffusion of organisational
innovations for knowledge transfer in regional innovation systems. An important
example of these innovations is found in the collaboration between scientific and
industrial sectors. We study a specific case of organisational innovations: colla-
borative research centres (CRCs) constituted by the joint participation of scientific,
government, and industrial agents. These organisations tend to emerge from pro-
grams undertaken frequently by regional governments or other local agents, with the
goal of increasing the technical scientific capacities of the territory and guiding them
towards strategic sectors for the development of the productive system. It can
therefore be argued that the creation and diffusion of CRCs is a phenomenon relevant
to understanding the innovative dynamics associated with regional resilience.
