Abstract
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.
