This symposium engages participants in discussions of academia in the commercialization of science. The incidence of science-based entrepreneurship in universities continues to accelerate with little sign of abatement. This activity has been turbo charged in recent years with many universities adopting science commercialization as a complementary arm to their discovery and education missions. This symposium explores the theories and empirical research on the barriers to such activities and discusses potential solutions and research opportunities.
