eng Partnerships between Chemical Companies and Universities Our current society is globalized, interconnected, and dependent on the collaboration of various entities and institutions. This collaboration and its influence on innovations in the knowledge society is a subject of research, and it reflects in the theory in the basic model depicting partnership in the form of the so-called triple helix model, where the partnership entities are represented by universities, public institutions, and companies. This paper focuses on partnerships between universities and companies from the point of view of the way how this partnership helps all the participants and benefits society. The paper describes the forms of partnerships and the advantages and disadvantages they have for the participants. It includes the outcomes of the research, which was conducted through the analysis of websites, annual reports, and structured interviews with representatives of three university faculties focussing on the area of chemistry and three chemical companies in the Czech Republic. Although the research implies that the partnership brings a number of benefits to both parties, it also identifies diverse views of an optimal form of cooperation on the side of universities and companies. partnership; triple helix; chemical industry; Czech Republic
