How are proximity and outcomes of collaboration among professionals from science, industry, government and society related? We empirically test this relation for geographical, social, organisational and cognitive proximity, based on a survey among professionals in the Dutch water sector. Different dimensions of proximity matter for different expected outcomes (e.g. co-publications, co-inventions, turnover).
