Knowledge transfer profiles of public research organisations: the role of fields of knowledge specialisation

While public research organisations (PROs) are increasingly expected to transfer knowledge to businesses and other stakeholders, their engagement in knowledge transfer (KT) activities is still under-researched. Better understanding of PROs' KT engagement, including how it is shaped by PROs'...
