A conference for the entrepreneurial mind; from business, government/regional/local administration and university sector, who wants to learn from successes and failures in commercializing university innovation around the world.
This conference will present a fresh analysis on how ten universities from Finland, Norway, Sweden, UK and USA organize themselves to deal with society’s demands for innovation. Integration of research, education and community engagement with society’s expressed need for commercial innovation is a very challenging task for universities, and requires both long term commitment to create sustainable changes and long term funding policies. Join us for a debate in how universities can be a catalyst for industry!
Information:
