What is the difference between a science shop and a knowledge transfer bureau?
Science shops are demand driven and work on non-profit questions. Most knowledge transfer bureaus work for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) on a paid basis (with usually support from Ministries of Economic Affairs or European Union funds). Commercial project results usually do not become public, or in general are less open to the public, this is another difference with science shop work. Universities that work for industry and SME’s at least claim to produce public results as well. For many universities it is an obligation to make results public (although this might take some time).
