Procedia-Social and Behavioral Sciences, 52, 279-289.1877-042810.1016/j.sbspro.2012.09.465http://repository.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng/handle/20.500.12398/640This study examined the types, nature and intensity of academia-industry interactions in Nigeria’s pharmaceutical innovation system. Eight (8) top-ranked universities offering Pharmacy as a course of study, 2 Pharmaceutical Research Institutes and 25 pharmaceutical firms were sampled for the study. Interactions are predominantly in the form of knowledge flow and consultancy, staff exchange/fellowship programmes as well as sponsored workshop participations. Intensity of interactions is limited as only 20% of pharmaceutical researchers from Universities and 7% from Research Institutes had strong interactions with Pharmaceutical firms, while only 4 firms have strong interactions with the researchers.enAcademiaPharmaceutical industryResearch and development (R&D)InteractionInnovationArticle
