Download or read book Strengthening University industry Interactions written by Walter S. Baer and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three broad approaches to strengthening university-industry interactions to promote industrial innovation are direct corporate funding of university research, cooperative (cost shared) research, and measures to enhance knowledge transfer and the exchange of people. Government actions that could encourage more direct corporate support of university research include clarifying antitrust guidelines for industrial consortia and providing tax credits or federal matching grants. Tax credits or matching grants usefully stimulate the industrial demand for R & D rather than the university supply, but there are no good estimates of their likely effects on total R & D spending or on the federal budget. Means to encourage industrial gifts or sharing arrangements that will upgrade university research equipment deserve particular attention. Strong university-industry links depend on the free flow of information, ideas, and people between the two sectors. Government actions may help these flows, but they also may hinder efforts to work out bilateral, mutually advantageous relationships. In many cases, the best government policy may be to step out of the way and let universities and firms negotiate their own arrangements.

Book excerpt: A Triple Helix of university-industry-government interactions is the key to innovation in increasingly knowledge-based societies. As the creation, dissemination, and utilization of knowledge moves from the periphery to the center of industrial production and governance, the concept of innovation, in product and process, is itself being transformed. In its place is a new sense of 'innovation in innovation' - the restructuring and enhancement of the organizational arrangements and incentives that foster innovation. This triple helix intersection of relatively independent institutional spheres generates hybrid organizations such as technology transfer offices in universities, firms, and government research labs and business and financial support institutions such as angel networks and venture capital for new technology-based firms that are increasingly developing around the world. The Triple Helix describes this new innovation model and assists students, researchers, and policymakers in addressing such questions as: How do we enhance the role of universities in regional economic and social development? How can governments, at all levels, encourage citizens to take an active role in promoting innovation in innovation and, conversely, how can citizens so encourage their governments? How can firms collaborate with each other and with universities and government to become more innovative? What are the key elements and challenges to reaching these goals?

Download or read book Promoting University Industry Collaboration in Sri Lanka written by Kurt Larsen and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong science, technology, and innovation links between universities and industry are of critical importance to Sri Lanka as it strives to become an upper-middle-income country. This report presents an overview of current U-I collaboration in Sri Lanka by analyzing responses to a survey of companies and university departments in 2015. Data from the 2015 survey are compared with data from a similar survey in 2007 to identify trends over time. The study examines current policies to promote U-I collaboration in Sri Lanka, highlights some good practices in other countries, and suggests possible ways that Sri Lanka may be able to strengthen U-I collaboration. The report is intended primarily for policy makers in the fields of higher education, research, and innovation, as well as for researchers in companies, universities, and research institutes who are already collaborating in public-private partnerships or are planning to do so. The responses show that the majority of existing links between Sri Lankan universities and companies are short-term, informal interactions with low direct transfer of knowledge and innovation. However, the survey findings also show a growing emphasis on deeper and more demanding types of collaboration, such as joint Research and Development activities, prototype testing, and spin-offs, even though these remain relatively uncommon. Key recommendations to strengthen U-I collaboration are: • As part of the national Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy 2016†“2020, develop and implement a national plan to upgrade the country’s research infrastructure, in line with national research and innovation priorities. • Strengthen Research and Development funding schemes for joint projects between universities/research institutes and companies, based on national and international experiences. • Define and implement clear intellectual property rights rules for publicly funded research to encourage the use of research results and ensure effective and timely legal protection of intellectual property. • Establish open innovation spaces and business incubators at universities and make available seed money for faculty and students to develop start-ups. • Strengthen the U-I interaction cells at universities with professional expertise in technology transfer and business model development. • Establish opportunities for master’s and PhD students to pursue targeted research projects in companies as part of their study.
Download or read book Technology Policy and Drivers for University Industry Interactions written by Marcia Villasana Campos and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University-Industry interactions, those rewarding yet intangible contacts between and among the academic, industrial and public sectors, have gained the attention of national, regional, and local authorities because they are important for strengthening the capacity of firms to innovate. In regions that seek to build a strong science base to represent an external source of knowledge for firms, universities are taking more active part of the socioeconomic transformation. This new role in their local and regional economy requires university researchers to face new internal as well as external rules of the game for building working relationships with other actors, particularly with the industrial sector. The author addresses the topic from an empirical approach focusing on biotechnology, a sector regarded as key for ensuring long-term economic development. The role of technology policy for fostering effective interactions between academia and industry is explored within this context. This book aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on emerging regional innovation systems and provide insights into the social and institutional dynamics supporting innovative activity.

Download or read book Open Innovation written by Henry Chesbrough and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-01-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this research and development can take place in a non-proprietary manner. Henry Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications for intellectual property policies and practices. The book will be key reading for academics, researchers, and graduate students of innovation and technology management.
