This article investigates the effects that joint research and research service, as relational schemes of collaboration with industry, generate in public research. Based on the contributions that the industry makes, it is analyzed how they are linked to public learning and to the direction of research. A case study was carried out in three sectors - agrobiotechnology, biopharmaceutical and nanotechnology - of a developing country like Argentina. Among the main findings, it stands out that industrial contributions allow public researchers to absorb new capacities, provide applied research with greater economic and social relevance, and generate feedbacks on more basic aspects of their activity.
