<!-- Abstract -->
This paper summarises findings on the practices and perceptions
        of industrial liaison in four universities within the federal University
        of Wales system in the UK. The research, part of the European Union Targeted
        Socio-Economic Research Programme study on &#145;Universities, Technology
        Transfer and Spin-Off; Academic Entrepreneurship in European Regions&#146;,
        involved surveys and interviews with both Industrial Liaison Officers
        (ILOs) and academics in receipt of their services and non-users. Broadly
        speaking ILO activity tends to be reactive and administrative. Academics
        consider, often mistakenly, that ILO work should be more commercial, as
        well as pressing for it to be even more strongly market-orientated.
