Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the dimensions and components of the requirements of the university-industry-government relationship in the campus of technical faculties of the University of Isfahan with a mixed approach. In the qualitative section of the statistical population, the collection of relevant relevant scientific sources, and the sample of 66 selected key scientific sources were based on the selection criteria of valid sources in qualitative studies. Using a systematic research method, a systematic review of the background and a more complex approach; the analyzed data were analyzed as open, central and selective coding. The achievement of information analysis is the development of a conceptual model including the three main categories of policy-oriented, knowledge-based and economics-centric interactions; And 8 sub-categories; Development of science and technology policy, establishment of information sharing system, policy and coordination council, facilitation and development of knowledge, repair of knowledge and production gap, review of specialized fields, financing, financial development and commercialization. In a small section; Out of a total of 270 faculty members of the Technical Campus, managers and deputies of the Office of Industry Relations of the University of Isfahan, 184 people were selected using Cochran's sampling formula and simple random sampling method. The results of the analysis of the data using the T-test and the Friedman test, indicate the optimal status of the calculated categories and the priority of interactions. Economics was studied from the point of view of other experts.
