Abstract: Taking researchers' motivations to cooperate with industry as the basis for exploring the characteristics and effects of their inducement, our analysis contributes to the debate on the factors interacting on university-industry engagement processes and thus helps to capture some intricate aspects of the nature of those cooperative exchanges. Our study includes a large variety of knowledge transfer channels, all scientific fields, and some relevant group (research teams) and individual (research teams' leaders) variables to make simultaneous observations. The specificities of the disparate reality observed regarding researchers' motivations and their involvement in cooperative mechanisms with industry demands a more focused and diversified course of action both in terms of further research and policy-making.
