It observes firms in Science and Technology Parks (STPs) and other spaces of a regional innovation system. It focuses on the effects that location has in establishing diversified interactions, in comparison with other firm traits usually associated to drawing from universities. It also provides evidence on the importance of certain qualities of space, including closeness to universities and existence of institutions specialized on knowledge transfer services. The empirical basis is a face-to-face survey to 737 firms in the regional innovation system of Andalusia, Spain. Descriptive analysis and regression models have been used in order to detect specific influences on five key dimensions of knowledge transfer. The results show that being located in a STP has an influence only on developing informal contacts and human resources training. In contrast, other characteristics related to the absorptive capacities of the firm have an influence on engaging in R&amp;D collaboration and commercialization. The conclusions and policy implications suggest that both the kind of firms and the interface institutions located in a STP make a difference when promoting knowledge transfer with local universities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijkm.2019070104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,30]],"date-time":"2019-07-30T14:12:17Z","timestamp":1564495937000},"page":"66-82","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Does the Location in a Science and Technology Park Influence University - Industry Relationships?"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Madelon","family":"van Oostrom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen, Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Antonio","family":"Pedraza-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Esquinas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Advanced Social Studies, CSIC, C\u00f3rdoba, Spain"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"IJKM.2019070104-0","article-title":"The influence of Science and Technology Park characteristics on firms\u2019 innovation results","author":"A.Albahari","year":"2016","journal-title":"Papers in Regional Science"},{"key":"IJKM.2019070104-1","unstructured":"Almeida, A., Santos, C., & Rui Silva, M.
